As we all know, creativity is the soul treasure of designers, so what is creativity and where does it come from? How do we get it? What do we have to do to keep a steady stream of creativity? The so-called creativity, imagination, and even imagination are all divergent thinking, and divergent thinking refers to the thinking mode in which the brain presents a diffuse state when thinking.
When you see an apple, you think of some ways to eat an apple, an apple tree, or even a Newton, a manor, a farmer, and an apple-eating bug, and that's divergent thinking in a broad sense. Through the diffusion of thought, Newton took inspiration from an apple and eventually published the law of gravitation, which also showed the endless possibilities of divergent thinking. In the design industry, in addition to the basic artistic skills, the most important thing to focus on is to cultivate divergent thinking ability to strengthen creativity, appeal, and artistic power.
Divergent thinking is divided into seven categories: three-dimensional thinking, plane thinking, reverse thinking, lateral thinking, lateral thinking, multi-way thinking and combinatorial thinking, which are characterized by fluency and flexibility.
Generally speaking, divergent thinking is based on the foundation of personal life, with a very distinct personal style and individualism, so what hinders divergent thinking is usually the limitation of individuals' inherent thinking, how to break through the traditional thinking constraints, it is necessary to carry out thinking breakthroughs from multiple angles, in learning and life, to be good at thinking, good at discovery, seeking common ground while reserving differences.
In the vast sky, there can be countless types of birds, in the daily art design, we must pay attention to the cultivation and absorption of artistic diversity, a large number and rich absorption of all kinds of knowledge, not stuck to the works of art in books, more eyes in the ordinary world, for example, for the perception of human insects and mammals and other life, observe its form and depict it, feel its joys and sorrows, express it in a strong personal way, can be graphics or colors or sounds. Express all tangible or intangible life and non-life, listen to and express the world in your own way.
Secondly, a large number of appreciation of art exhibits, in contact with the art of the work to feel the aesthetic, evaluation of aesthetics, and actively mobilize their own aesthetic cells, ideological cognition, and feelings of beauty, improve artistic thinking and cultivation, each work of art is the jewel of the artist, in these finished products, you can feel the artist's thinking divergence, their mood, happy or sad, the work of art is a mirror, accurate feedback of the artist's psychological activities, but also the artist's spiritual sustenance and thinking carrier, look at its works , deep thinking, will benefit a lot. While appreciating the works, it is also necessary to use the mode of reverse thinking, delve into and explore the artist's artistic intentions, artistic processes, and art forms, learn to feel the artistic life of other artists in a deep understanding, and apply them to integrate into their own art.
In the study of art culture, three-dimensional perspective is a difficult point for many people, after many trials, it is still difficult to grasp the essence, there will always be some subtle flaws, we use three-dimensional thinking to analyze this problem. The dotted line surface only exists in the two-dimensional plane, and the three-dimensional rises to the three-dimensional space, and the person who is studying in the two-dimensional space suddenly moves the three-dimensional space to the two-dimensional space, and the brain will produce deviations, and the invisible abstract elements cannot be accurately expressed on the paper, so we need a lot of ideas and practices in the mind.
For example: when a person stands on a section of the train track, looking at the other end, it must disappear at a certain point, and the closest place in front of you is also the widest place of the rail, a point, and a cross, they were originally of the same mass and length, but only because the angle of the person is different, it becomes a point, to a cross-section, the process in the middle, that is, the three-dimensional thinking structure of the three-dimensional space, so in the early stage we can use some perspective props to practice, in the mind to construct and supplement the part that was not originally visible, Rationalize them and exist, and then remove the perspective props, supplementing the missing parts of the picture in the brain and expressing them through the art form.
Generally speaking, the basis of thinking is one-way, we see the apple, think of the apple, but after cutting the apple will find that the middle is broken, the broken part is the divergence of thinking, an apple before it is cut, it has countless possibilities, it may be broken, may not be ripe, may not be ripe, may be a small bug hidden in the core, and even contains a whole universe, this is divergent thinking, with infinite possibilities, is an indispensable creative driving force for artistic creation.
In the cultivation of divergent thinking, we must pay more attention to 'divergence' than 'thinking', whether it is rational thinking or emotional thinking is produced in our original life experience, and divergence needs to be broken, is not bound and bound, is to explore the endless possibilities of life and the world.
Art is pluralistic, unlimited, for the related art design, must not be art stuck to a certain form, such as: painting or performance, so as to greatly limit the possibility of art, art is a variety of thinking constantly divergent superposition, many overlapping and reorganization and then constructed together to form a form of embodied culture.
Therefore, in art design or self-improvement, it is necessary to cultivate the use of divergent thinking more scientifically, develop fixed habits, and do not imprison logic in a single one-sided thinking, and must be multi-party imagination and multi-party extraction. When we come into contact with a new thing, we will naturally use our inherent thinking system, language system, and overall logical framework, it is difficult to jump out of the comfort zone, to create and develop more possibilities, but to adopt the same inertial thinking to look at, limiting our creativity. Therefore, in the creation, we must look at the formation of the art work through multiple artistic considerations, based on this basic concept, when studying related art,
Divergent thinking is a design mode with high openness and high activity design concept, which can enhance the creativity and imagination of art creators and further promote the development and glory of the art design cultural industry. In learning, we should pay attention to the cultivation and encouragement of divergent thinking, guide more thinking, more speculation, more observation and other good habits, so that it has higher autonomy and vitality in the creative process.
