CREATIVITY : part 3

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.


I'm back again this week with a new topic that my classmates and I learnt for today : STEPS TO CREATIVITY. Well, there are a few steps needed in order for us to achieve the creativity level. The steps involved are; knowledge, thinking, incubation, eureka!, and development. 


Firstly, we should start off with the knowledge. The basic concept of the knowledge in creativity is about making connections. So, we need to acquire the diverse knowledge by utilizing all the 5 senses we have. Furthermore, we need knowledge as the raw material in making connections to come out with a creative idea for solving a problem. Hence, the more diverse the knowledge that we know, the more creative that we could be in which will help us to think outside of the box that can results in a bombastic idea. Thus, by getting a lot of knowledge through reading and learning out of our expertise, we can innovate the existing idea into something new and better for solving a problem that arise. 



Next, thinking. Thinking as the second step in creativity is to activate our mind to make useful connections to come out with a possible solution for a problem that we are facing at the moment. This step really acquire us to make use of both sides of our brains to generate ideas and to evaluate and/or develop ideas for practical. 



This is because the both sides of our brain have different functions as the left brain is for our logical thinking while the right brain is for ideas/arts. As an example,


The next step after thinking is the incubation period as we needed some time to come out with a really good and brand new idea. This period is the time for us to us mostly our right brain to imagine, fantasizing, or maybe daydreaming to relax our mind a little bit after the brainstorming session.


Sometimes, we get new ideas in an unexpected time and usually we get it during our time in the toilet hahaha =D


The fourth step in creativity is eureka!. At this stage, we had found our right and suitable idea for solving the problem at our hand and everyone in this world has the ability to get ideas. The right example for this step is the story of Archimedes when he discovered about the law of buoyancy.


The last steps in creativity is the development. This is the stage that happens once we already have our idea. In this step, we are acting on our idea to make it useful, functional, possible and also profitable to us. This final step will definitely ensure us that we can solve the problem we are facing, thus, making our lives easier. 



Dr also gave us some activity for us to do in the class today. We need to draw something from a black oval that Dr showed to us and posted it on padlet. Go and check out the link below ^^



After the class session, we had came to the time for group activity and today's group is Badik's group. The game that we are playing is the MUTE, DEAF and Blind game. In this game, we were divided into a group of three people and each of us will have our own role whether mute, deaf or blind person. So, for my group which consist of me, Ayu and Ain Syamimi from the red team, I decided to the mute person, Ayu became the deaf person and Ain Syamimi became the blind person. The mute person will have to look at the hints provided and tell the deaf person about the hints by using body language only and then the deaf person will instruct the blind person to draw the 'thing' they guessed based on the hints given. For my team, the hints that I had to act out is about the Malay idiom which is 'bagaikan bulan jatuh ke riba' and 'bagaikan aur dengan tebing'. It was really hard to relay this hints to the next person by just using the body language. It made us realize and feel grateful to the gifts that Allah SWT had given to us which are the eyes that help us to see, the ears for us to hear and the mouth for us to talk. The game taught us the feeling how the person with disabilities would feel in their lives and how hard it is to communicate with other people when we don't have one of the senses. Here, are some of the pictures taken during the activity;








So, I think that is all for today and till we meet again. Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
