Exploring the Impact of Intuitive Thinking on Creativity with Gray Relational Analysis

Abstract

Creativity is important and constitutes a part of competitiveness in all walks of life. In the case of designers’ visual images, creativity is vital. Based on the perspective of visual design, visual image thinking has always been a widely used thinking mode in the field of design. Regarding whether or not other sensory stimuli can also provide a source of inspiration for designers, many studies have pointed out that different sources of inspiration can create different thinking patterns and even affect the behavior of a designer. Therefore, this study explores whether or not different sensory stimuli have an impact on the thinking of a designer, which in turn allows the designer to spark different inspirations. Here, we explore the relationships between creativity and vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. In this study, novice designers are required to use their creativity to design their works. Through the execution of design tasks, works are produced in two stages. First of all, a scenic spot is decided as the main theme, while the data of the field are collected through observation and experience. Next, the five senses are used to feel the stimulation delivered by the field when located in the field. Last but not least, the five stimuli are transformed into abstract visual pictures. Different sensory stimuli do affect the thinking of a designer and inspire different types of works. A multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) forecasting method is also used to establish a method for evaluating creative designs. By making a comparison between the students and the experts, the results of the creative thinking test show that different sensory stimuli do affect the thinking of a designer and inspire different types of works.

Implementación del visual thinking en bachillerato: una experiencia de innovación docente

“…Es por lo anteriormente mencionado por lo que el uso de las herramientas que facilitan el VT en el ámbito de la educación aporta múltiples beneficios para el futuro del estudiante, como el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico, analítico y comunicativo, así como las relaciones de contenidos (Almulla y Alamri, 2021;Lynch, 2022), promoviendo el aprendizaje activo a través de la observación, la crítica, la comunicación y la colaboración entre estudiantes. Todo ello favorece una implicación más activa en los propios aprendizajes (Bai, 2020;Lu y Lin, 2020;Poirier, Newman y Ronald, 2020;Urchegui, Betegón, Carramolino e Irurtia, 2021;Choi et al, 2022).…”

“…When the ceiling fan circulates in the area, the thermal comfort is significantly enhanced. By maintaining a reasonable level of thermal comfort, higher room temperature or higher thermal load can be allowed, so that a sustainable environment can be maintained without affecting indoor thermal comfort or energy efficiency [35][36][37].…”
