Join award-winning master artist David Dunlop for “Sources for Creativity: How the Mind’s Eye Works"
This presentation demonstrates how we use varieties of visual thinking to create, invent and, understand ourselves. Here is an exploration of how we see through the lens of culture and, how it limits us. Here’s what we can do to broaden our vision. Our greatest innovations derive from visualizing, from Galileo to Newton, to Edison, to Einstein. Learn how they relied upon visualizing finding insights. Learn how you too can use forms of visualizing expanding your understanding of complex problems and how to solve them. The acclaimed Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio credits picturing with the invention of language. Learn how neuroscience explores the role of picturing in creating and thinking. We explore how we make images internally and externally and, how this understanding can serve as a source for creativity. We explore how language inhibits creativity. The ambiguity provided in picturing is a pathway to problem solving and creativity in math, art, literature and science.
