STATE YOUR CHALLENGE IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION:
|
SENSIBILITIES Note your reactions to the image...include details, general impressions, feelings, sounds, scents or tastes you'd anticipate ... whatever strikes you. Put each on a separate line. |
POSSIBILITIES Now assume that each Sensibility is a clue. Find or force a link between your reactions and your challenge. Note the links below. Some reactions may spark more links than others. |
- Highlight the "possibilities" that show the most promise. Work to refine and develop these ideas further. These refinements may spark their own new ideas.
- Print this page and set it aside for a time. When you return to it, see if you can create a few additional links between the reactions you noted and the challenge. Notable is a handy tool that will support your success.
- You can stop after working with one image, or repeat this process with several images. (Print this page and then start over again with a new image.)
