Creative thinking processes: getting lost is good. Knowing how you  
got lost is even better!
led by Tory Dunn

**************************************************************
FURTHER DETAILS

Into print

The context
Lecturers spend much of their time developing and supporting their  
students’writing, and their own plans to write can get squeezed out  
by day-to-day pressures. These workshops offer an opportunity for  
participants to focus on their own writing, and to rehearse the  
process, from idea to finished product.

The workshop process
All sessions are highly interactive, with paired and small group  
work, and instant presentation and feedback. The sessions work  
through enabling you to create and see your structures and plans,  
with sketches and diagrams. Through these processes, they offer  
opportunities for networking with other students.

The workshops
The workshops are designed as a sequence, so you should plan to  
attend all three if at all possible.
Workshop 1: Mapping the process: Wednesday 11th January 2006 10.30-1.00
•	Clarifying aims and objectives
•	Planning and sequencing research
Workshop 2 : Form and Structure: Thursday 26th January 2006 10.30-1.00
•	Developing a rationale	
•	Thinking about an outline
•	Planning an introduction
Workshop 3 : Writing issues: Thursday 2nd February 2006 10.30-1.00
•	Developing an argument
•	Structures for writing

Creative thinking processes: getting lost is good. Knowing how you  
got lost is even better!

Background and issues
Learning in art, design and most other fields implies learning  
methods to think creatively. Yet most of us have only been exposed to  
generic brainstorming and mind mapping as methods of generating  
ideas. What happens when we hit a creative block? What happens to a  
student in a professional field if the client doesn’t like the  
proposal? How do we analyse and evaluate the output of our  
brainstorming? How can we be certain we are investing our efforts in  
the best questions? This workshop introduces and provides  
opportunities to try a number of techniques based on the work of  
Edward deBono and others.

Participants
For tutors of Further or Higher Education students, teaching either  
studio or theory-based courses.

Aims and Outcomes

The aim of the workshop is to give participants the experience of a  
range of creative thinking techniques, presented in the context of  
the overall creative process.

As an outcome of the workshop, participants should feel that they  
will have broadened their vocabulary of creative thinking techniques,  
and have a basis from which they can build these techniques into the  
working methods that their students are learning.

Process
The workshop will include discussion of the techniques to be  
explored, followed by opportunities to try out the methods. The  
experience of participation in a series of creative thinking  
sessions, some of which will focus on light issues, with others  
examining real issues faced by the participants, is an important  
feature of the day. There will also be discussion of specific  
teaching and learning issues in this area.

Beginning with the notion “building in” creative effort  
opportunities, the workshop progresses through defining a focus,  
developing a focus into a broad range of ideas, and introduces the  
notion of provocation and other techniques to disrupt predictable  
thinking. The workshop also provides the opportunity to work with  
methods to evaluate ideas that have been generated, and looks at  
using creative thinking techniques to enhance team work.
