Core competency creative thinking

I demonstrated the creative thinking competency by generating and developing unique ideas for a class project.For example, while working on a presentation about Rhinocéros by Eugène Ionesco, I brainstormed creative ways to share my understanding of the play’s themes, such as conformity and individuality. Instead of using a traditional slideshow, I decided to create a visual storyboard that combined key quotes, drawings, and real-life connections.

To make my project stand out, I took risks by experimenting with a multimedia format I hadn’t used before. I connected the play’s themes to personal experiences and current societal issues, showing how the message about conformity is still relevant today. After receiving feedback from my classmates, I reflected on what worked well and made adjustments to improve my presentation flow. This process allowed me to think creatively and present my ideas in a way that was both original and engaging.

In my communications course I demonstrated creative thinking. I did this by coming up with many fun and interesting ideas for projects. We had to make up our own stories where we had to use creative thinking to make an interesting story. There were also times where we had to do improve skits. This required lots of creative thinking in order to act and make up these skits on the spot. We did one project in particular called petchakucha. For this project we had to create our own story on PowerPoint. The story had to be 20 minutes long and we had to use 20 slides that had a one minute long timer on each one. If we did not time our project correctly, we had to improvise.  For this project it was critical for us to use our creative thinking skills. This communications course really helped me to grow in my creative thinking core competency because if I had to projects like that before I would not know what to do. However, now I know that I have the ability to be creative in stressful situations. Next, I will focus on further developing this competency by reading 30 books this year because book fuel your imagination.
