Our kid’s future depends upon their competence to think original ideas, to solve problems with multiple solutions with fluency and flexibility.
We all know about drawing but what is creative drawing thinking? Before I jump into explaining all about creative thinking, Let me bring your attention to what is a drawing?
Drawing is an organised visual language. It is our inherent quality of writing and expressing ourself since birth. The one common thing among all children since the inception is scribbling or doodling. Just for a minute, I would like you to bring back your memories about your childhood drawings & stories and how fluently you drew with unique ideas unknowingly.
Drawing & sound are the two capabilities with which we all are born with. The drawing turns into a visual language and sound into the vocal language. Both are equally important to communicate effectively.
Sound and Drawing also play a major role in the development of our nervous system and research has proven that with facts and figures.
We also get instant relaxation just like mediation after doing simple painting, scribbling or singing.
What is creative thinking?
It is a similar process of turning our sound capability into a vocal language to learn words, sentences and then proper language.
Creative thinking is the process to turn an initial drawing or simple scribbling capability into powerful visual language and signs.
You already know that in the current digital world, we are expressing ourself 80% times through visual language and 20% only through vocal language.
It is paramount to sharpen creative thinking muscle through discovery sessions of questions like Why, What and How.
How actually children learn through creative thinking program?
It will help to cultivate the following creative thinking processes:
- Fluency: The production of a great number of ideas.
- Flexibility: The production of ideas or products that show a variety of possibilities or realms of thought.
- Originality: The production of ideas that are unique or unusual.
- Elaboration: The production of ideas that display intensive detail or enrichment.
Where creative thinking skill will get used in the real world?
In the current time, we are communicating our ideas 90% of the time through virtual channels, therefore, it is important to give children a framework that utilises creative and analytical skills with Fluency, Flexibility, Originality and Elaboration.
Almost every company is looking forward to enhancing the user experience through creative solutions and the world is getting into a new era of living with robotics systems.
We need to equip our kids with a skill of unlearning and learning quickly which is only possible if they sustain and improve their curiosity through creative thinking.
Creative thinking is the foundation which is important even before teaching kids technical skills of how to draw a portrait or do coding or any other skills which will easily get replaced by robots soon.
