Volunteering Creativity: A Tool For Growing The Church’S Creative Volunteer Base, Landon Joel Benson
Volunteering Creativity: A Tool For Growing The Church’S Creative Volunteer Base, Landon Joel Benson
Masters Theses
Churches often struggle to identify and recruit talented visual communicators because of a lack of familiarity with visual communication, limited resources, and an inability to recruit to an area of ministry they do not understand. Marketing needs accelerate as fast as technology innovates, and if the church fails to keep up, it will lose its relevance. With each passing day, the importance of having an effective creative team at a church’s disposal grows. Most of the research on this subject focuses on who participates in volunteering and identifying demographic or economic statuses. Few researchers have taken the next step to …

An increasing number of countries including China have incorporated industrial design development into their national development strategies. However, China hasn’t real-ized the process of industrial revolution in a real sense yet for most of its industrial manufacturing industry lacks innovation ability and still relies on cheap labour to get profits. In this context, industrial design has become the main force to promote Chi-na’s industrial structure adjustment and innovative talents are the core driving force; government plays a vital role in the national education development orientation and talent training. This paper takes the development of Chinese industrial design educa-tion in colleges …

I Hate Creativity, Patricia Kovic
I Hate Creativity, Patricia Kovic
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
We love creativity. Everybody loves creativity and everybody wants a “Culture of Creativity.” However, there is strong evidence that we do not even like creativity, especially under stressful conditions. Creativity thrives in conditions of uncertainty, vagueness of purpose and psychological discomfiture — conditions that can be unbearable when added to the current anxieties of a shrinking academic landscape, the pandemic, let alone wicked problems like the climate crisis. We are terrified in these traumatic circumstances, so we shrink away from creativity toward the safety of what is known, understood and proven. As a result, Proxy Creativity emerges — one that …

The Creative Laboratory: Embracing Childlike Imagination To Develop Lifelong Creativity And Cognitive Ability Through Worldplay, Nicholle Kimberly Abbott
Masters Theses
There is a decline in creativity that occurs in children around the sixth grade. Although it is commonly agreed that creativity is a valuable skill, the playful activities of childhood that naturally develop creativity are often discouraged once the child reaches middle school age. This thesis investigates methods of generating creativity that can be introduced to children as a way to combat the slump. Specifically, it analyzes worldplay, the act of creating an imaginary world, as a potential tool for building creativity. To test the viability of worldplay as a creative tool, the thesis used a literature review to establish …

Nurturing Creativity And Innovation Through Activity-Based Courses For Undergrad Interior Design Curriculum, Katherine Jean-Maxim Sword
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Different strategies that have the capability of encouraging creative and innovative thought need to be evaluated by traditional literature review methodology. This study designed a four-part course to better teach creativity and innovation through design by using two principle questions. (a) What learning models are most effective at teaching creativity and innovation? (b) What teaching strategies are most effective at teaching creativity and innovation? The spectrum of research on creativity and innovation revealed four principles: fostering mastery of a discipline, reducing internal barriers, encouraging people to have divergent thinking, and crossing over disciplines can make new ideas emerge.Using the above …
