Points from video: ‘Tim Brown: Tales of Creativity and Play'

  • As an adult, we are embarrassed to show or share our ideas to others because we fear that people might not like our ideas and according to the video this is what causes us to be conservative in our thinking.
  • While adults are embarrassed to express their ideas, kids are very open and they are even very excited to show others their ideas 
  • Friendship is the shortcut to play. It gives us a sense of trust which allows us to take creative risks.
  • Playfulness is important. It helps us to get creative solutions and helps us do our job better
  • We need rules to help us break the old rules and norms because rules help us to narrow down the ideas so we can be more focused on what we are working on
  • Giving someone permission to think with their hands (such as making prototypes or rough sketches) can make ideas get realised or executed more easily
  • Kids are more open to new possibilities and as people who work in the creative industry, we also need to be open and try new things.
  • There are 3 main ways that can be used to test out our ideas. They include Exploration (go for quantity), Building (thinking with our hands), and Role Play (by acting it out).
