So I have been referencing this book lately for my class. It's called: "How to think like Leonardo Da Vinci". Although I haven't read this book in its entirety, I have been browsing sections. Last semester I used the 100 questions activities with the grade 11 students so I could get them to understand how to work on a theme, it worked because they wrote down the first 100 questions that came to mind, then grouped the questions into themes, decided which themes were most relevant to them at the time and then began their print design based on the theme.
Now I am reading a bit further into the book and I have discovered the 10 power questions. Keep in mind that all of these questions are to be used to help develop creativity. I think they are quite powerful and I am hoping to use them with the students soon. Anyways fyi, here there are:
When am I most naturally myself? What people, places and activities allow me to feel most fully myself?
What is one thing I could stop doing, or start doing, or do differently, starting today that would most improve my quality of life?
What is my greatest talent?
How can I get paid for doing what I love?
Who are my most inspiring role models?
How can I best be of service to others?
What is my heart's deepest desire?
How am I perceived by: my closest friend, my worst enemy, my boss, my children, my co-workers etc.?
What are the blessings of my life?
What legacy would I like to leave?
Gotta run ...
