Lateral Thinking

"Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic." 

- by Edward de Bono.

This week's class begins with interesting problems.

Draw 9 dots, and join them with 4 lines without lifting your pen/pencil at all.


Why does the bee flies into a painting of a flower instead of the real rose?

Most of us couldn't come out with a solution as we all tried to make a shape within the square of the dots but after that we know that we have to work out of the box.

I think it's really useful for art student like us as it help us to boost our creativity, enable us to come out with unique ideas.
