Week 4 Lab
The Power of Creative Constraints
- creative constraints - requirements and limitations we have to address in order to accomplish a goal
- creative constraints can play a role as drivers of discovery and invention
- constraints guide decision making to ensure that each objective is reached
- Status quo followed by call to adventure, then assistance from someone older and wiser
- departure, crosses threshold from safe home to trials then approaches the biggest ordeal, the hero's worst fear
- crisis, the hero's darkest hour, possibly even dies only to be reborn then treasure and gets special recognition
- result, do monsters bow down or flee?
- then return and new life, he has outgrown his old life
- resolution and status quo upgraded
- Fiction plays with our senses and our ability to abstract and make complex associations
- when done right, the reader experiences the story at both a visceral and conceptual level
- create unexpected connotations to set readers wondering
