Creativity Excercise VI

This week in class we are using an online resource or book on creativity exercises in the classroom, to do a creativity exercise. Then write a quality blog post about what I did and what I learned from the exercise. Include a link to where the exercise can be found online which is:

Object Transformation Exercise

Objective: To transform an everyday object into something completely different, using your imagination.

Materials Needed:

• Any everyday object (e.g., a pen, a coffee mug, a shoe, a book).
• A sheet of paper.
• A pen or pencil.

Instructions:

1. Select an Object: Choose an everyday object that you have around you. It can be anything from a household item to a personal belonging.

2. Observe and Imagine: Spend a minute or two observing the object. Note its shape, size, color, and any distinct features.

3. Transform the Object: On your paper, start jotting down or sketching as many new uses or transformations for the object as you can think of. The goal is to reimagine the object as something completely different from what it is intended for. For instance, a coffee mug could become a planter, a hat for a small animal, a pendant lamp, a drum, etc.

4. No Limits: There are no right or wrong answers in this exercise. Allow your imagination to run wild. The more unusual and creative, the better.

5. Reflect: After about 10-15 minutes, or once you feel you've exhausted your ideas, review what you've come up with. Reflect on the exercise. How did it feel to push your creative boundaries? Were there any ideas that surprised you?

Learning Outcomes:

• Lateral Thinking: This exercise helps develop lateral thinking, the process of using creative and indirect reasoning.
• Idea Generation: It's excellent for practicing how to generate a wide range of ideas from a single stimulus.
• Flexibility in Thinking: Encourages flexibility in thinking, breaking away from conventional uses and perceptions of everyday objects.

Creativity Exercise V

 This week in class we are using an online resource or book on creativity exercises in the classroom, to do a creativity exercise. Then write a quality blog post about what I did and what I learned from the exercise. Include a link to where the exercise can be found online which is:

https://www.adobe.com/express/learn/blog/10-exercises-to-spark-original-thinking-and-unleash-creativity

10 Exercises to Spark Original Thinking and Increase Creativity
1. Write a six-word story
2. Avoid the letter “e”
3. Write by hand
4. Eliminate “I, “me,” “my” and “mine” from your vocabulary
5. Give your project limitations
6. Use a writing prompt
7. Look at things from a new perspective
8. Write down the question you’re trying to answer
9. Exercise and tire yourself out
10. Meditate in the morning
I chose to write a six-word story. Here is an example from Adobe.
This one comes courtesy of Ernest Hemingway who famously wrote, “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Your own story doesn’t have to be so dark or so big but try to boil something meaningful to you down to just six words. Then try to write one every day for a week. Perhaps even add your six-word story to an image in Adobe Express (like the one below inspired by a movie) to share on social media as a way to inspire others and get feedback. #sixwordstory

Here is the story: My dog likes playing in water.
