Creative Strategies

This was a collaborative project between myself, Sean Conroy and Tadhg McNealy. The Aim of the project is to create an interactive experience or artefact to raise awareness of, and to stimulate creative thinking, in young children in a manner that is fun and interesting. We were asked to provide a resource for children to aid a child in creating a story,taking nature, art, science and literature as keywords when developing the concept.  The target audience was primary school children aged 6-9. In our proposed product, we combined storytelling and divergent thinking to create an interactive artifact through which the target audience could create and visualise original narrative experiences. The aim of this project was to allow the user access to a creative process that exercised both their imagination and analysis skills.
