Look in the same direction in which all are watchingand be the first to see what the other will recognize too




VYGOTSKY

The cycle of creative imagination is described through the relation

between reality and imagination

Imagination is not psychologically opposed to reality but it’s closely

interrelated with it.




I°

REALIMAGINATION

In the first form of relation between fantasy and reality, thecreative activity of imagination directly depends on the

richness and variety of the experience made by an individual.

Fantasy’s constructions are composed by the materialsupplied by experience.




II°

REALIMAGINATION

The second form of relation between fantasy and reality doesn’t occur

between the elements of fantastic construction and reality, but it occurs

between the ready product of fantasy and any complex phenomenon of reality.

This form of relation is made possible only thanks to other’s experience,

to the social experience.

For instance, the construction of French Revolution or Sahara desert

through other’s memories, stories, studies.




III°

REALIMAGINATION

The third form of relation between imagination and reality is the

emotional one. In this relation we can distinguish two different aspects:

Law of the common emotional sign (a)

Selected elements are isolated by our feelings and combined together in

a relationship which is internally conditioned by our state of mood.

Law of reality of the imagination (b)

Every form of creative imagination includes affective elements. This

means that each construction of fantasy influences our feelings.




IV°

REALIMAGINATION

• A construction of fantasy may constitute something effectively new,

something which has never existed before in the experience of a man,

and which doesn’t correspond to any object/concept really existing.

• Once this crystallised image of imagination is externally embodied

and concretised, it really starts to exist in the world, and to act on

other things.

This is true for physical objects (devices, machines, etc...) as well as for ideas

and emotions (concepts, ideas, feelings... )



Design Brief




Project objective

To design a mobile application thatcould support the production of

meaning by illustrating graphemes to

children aged 2-5




TAKE AWAY MESSAGE

Creativity has an individual and a social dimension thatconstitute the two sides of the same coin.

Follow up: creativity is for sharing

Allowing resources of adult environment to become (in anyform!) also a resource for children in their process of recruiting reality for nursing imagination is fundamental for

sharing attention and experience.

Follow up: artifacts can be designed to support the sharing process.
