Overcoming Mental Block!



As you probably gathered by now you probably picked up what my blog is about.But if you haven't been paying attention let me give it to you in a nutshell.
Mental Block and the problems and opportunities that comes along with it.
Lets face it, mental block is a huge issue for artists of all walks of life.Sometimes you just cant get those juices flowing.
I want to introduce to you the six thinking hats.
This technique is specially designed for fighting mental block.It can be used in the process of improving a project or work of art by analyzing it from all possible platforms.
What i really like about the six thinking hats is that it focuses on keeping you on track and reaching your creative goal.As artists we tend to lose track of the important things sometimes.
The six thinking hats requires you to think in six different ways.
Here is the seven hats and their respective meanings:
1.The white hat: The facts, just the facts. Basically what you know.
2. The yellow hat: Be a happy chappy. All the benefits of the product.
3. The black hat: Oh, negative Nancy. Why will this suck?
4.The red hat: Its all about the feelings. Intuition
5.The green hat: Wish tecnuiqy(mentioned in previous post) and worst idea technique
6.The blue hat: Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Am i reaching the goal?
 That is the six thinking hats in a nutshell, for a more detailed explanation for those who are a bit slow, check outwww.debonoforschools.com/asp/six_hats.asp
