    Hey James, thanks for the video. i found it very usefull. Like some peaple say, some stages dont always apply for Design... I think its on us to mold the stages to our own cases.
    Thank you again, very usefull.

    This is referential of many transformational learning models, but I find it particularly inspired by Dr. Charle's Johnston's life's work called Creative System's Theory. Check it out. ;)

    I think the creative process is unique for each person but I'm sure there are similarities. For me I just feel the urge and I get up and go.

      The number of ideas that are actually useful probably depends on the context, but within my context it seems to be about 1 in 20 ideas. Interesting how that works

  • @zanettivapa8021
    @zanettivapa8021 Před 8 lety +1

    Is it possible that the 5 stages are out of sequence at times? For example, could you go into the evaluation stage AFTER the elaboration stage?
    I'm trying to make this applicable to the classroom and it seems like evaluation is a part of the entire process!

    • @JamesTaylorMe
      @JamesTaylorMe  Před 8 lety +1

      +Zanetti VAPA Absolutely. They can be out of sequence at times and they are very much iterative. Hope it is useful for your class.

    • @contentcreators5759
      @contentcreators5759 Před 7 lety

      In the area of business, there is a whole stage of testing ofter the elaboration. Since you cannot evaluate a business idea by yourself, you need users to check it. That's why we have this MVP concept.

    What the differences between artstic process and creative process?

    • @artesiningart4961
      @artesiningart4961 Před 6 lety

      For me, (just my opinion)..... they are both called "creative process" sometimes but they work differently. Creative process as what is being said in this video is more of a process to be "creative" thinker, to generate ideas and choosing the right one, generating original ideas, or to produce good ideas..The Creative Process discussed in this video is like the Pre-Writing stage of writing or the first stage of art production which is getting inspiration and generating idea, the first stage of design engineering which is to observe and generate idea to solve a problem, or the first stage of designing new things. ..... The artistic process for me is like the design process, it's a process within the Elaboration Stage. It is where you already have an idea and all you need is to start realizing it. It is where you begin to work on the idea, tapping more into your creativity and imagination, then beginning to do research, take notes, read and find reliable sources, preparing the place and materials needed, begin creating the product or a prototype or a model, testing the model or the prototype or the critique process, then reworking on it based on critique, then evaluating it, and finally to present it. It is also not a linear process, wherein you can go back to the first stage or go back to some stages over and over again to work on the product, artwork, design, or other work. :)

    this isnt good. i found this to onl tell half the story. once youre in the implementation stage so much happens. revisions, feedback, the part where you hate everything and you need to walk away for a few days. the part where you finally here someone else give feedback and you find out that your not insagne.... and you mabe have something, ust gotta polish up the edges a bit and itll be perfect. keep at it lad, youll get there.

    • @uhuhuhuwhauwhauwhaaha7918
      @uhuhuhuwhauwhauwhaaha7918 Před 6 lety

      true originality and creativity is origined in the moment, even if it's just the day after, most artists have already lost the focus on the original feeling of what they where working on, and it's not a feeling that you can recreate by just trying to "remember", because it's a feeling that changes you in the way you think, you act, you reason, and it's not easy to emulate again a second time, even when you think you got it back you'll eventually realize that it was just you fooling yourself.
