Den danske arkitekt Arne Jacobsen er internationalt kendt for sit smukke design. Men i Danmark var han ikke altid lige populær, og nogle syntes, at hans bygninger var grimme og alt for moderne. Han designede alt fra fabrikker til vandhaner, men er måske især kendt for sine elegante og eksklusive stole, der stadig produceres og sælges over hele verden. Arne Jacobsen var et problembarn i skolen, uddannet murer, kunstmaler, flygtning under Anden Verdenskrig, arbejdsnarkoman og meget mere. Hvis du gerne vil vide så meget som muligt om Arne Jacobsen og hans design – på kortest mulig tid – så er dette bogen for dig. Arne Jacobsen er en del af serien fakta&fiktion for voksne udlændinge, der er ved at lære dansk. Bogen hører hjemme på seriens blå niveau, der er målrettet undervisning og test på DU 3 modul 4 og DU 2 modul 5.

Creativity research shows that dividing thinking into divergent and convergent forms improves and increases idea production; this leads to unexpected thoughts and original solutions. Divergent thinking is used to generate ideas; convergent thinking helps in selecting the best ideas. The concept of divergent and convergent thinking is so integral to the creative process and innovative thinking that it is known as ‘the heartbeat of creativity’. It is the underlying rhythm of creative thinking. This book is an introduction to divergent and convergent thinking and includes guidelines to enhance innovative thinking, as well as hands-on exercises to strengthen creativity. The concept of the book is supported by its triangular shape, illustrating divergent and convergent thinking: the top half of the book communicates divergent thinking, while the bottom half communicates convergent thinking. This principle remains the same throughout the book.

As with the Little Creative Thinker’s Exercise Book, this wonderfully simple children’s game is built on the tried and tested theory that by enhancing your ability to see connections, you can enhance your creativity. Based on the same basic rules as dominoes – it’s all about matching the bricks you’re dealt with the bricks on the table. The winner is the one who is quickest to place all of their bricks. The difference is, this version is not played with numbers, it’s purely visual. The bricks can be matched in a number of fun ways but always with a connection. It could be a pattern, a shape or a concept that connects the two dominoes. Although you might think you’re just having fun with your kids, you’re actually teaching yourselves to be better at thinking creatively by strengthening the underlying mechanism of creativity itself. So, go for it, play yourselves more creative!
