Insights and Discoveries Week 3

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

-Albert Einstein

I couldn't agree more! And that's what today's class was all about! Take 2 of today's exercise was entitled A New Paradigm for the Imagination. The first two exercises flipped on the switch for imagination, which helped stimulate our minds!

My answers were going to Disney world for a happy memory we have lived. As for a happy memory we have not lived, I told my partner I wanted to go to SDCC...she said she imagined a husband and family. After that I told her I liked hers better  This really helped put a perspective on creativity and set the atmosphere for the class!

The next section about creativity was one of my favorite parts of class! There were some optical illusions I had seen before, but most of them were new! The second set of exercises was also my favorite part, where we had to participate (by participate I mean Dr. V call on us) but I liked being picked. I read, out-loud, this passage...

and I actually got through it! Everyone applauded me, and it felt nice participating! I'll definitely try to participate more!

Plus, I made the Ballerina do what I say!! She went both clockwise and counterclockwise, so I guess I'm both right..and left brained :)

Anyhoo! The rest of the lecture was insightful and I can't wait for what's to come!

Particularly the Janusian Creative Process and Taylor's multiple talent model helped me choose for myself exactly how I learned, which I can go back too! I can look up the information on myself that helps me learn! All parts of the lecture were overall positive and I literally..cannot what for what's next!
