I really shouldn’t call this an IdeaPad since the label is used by Lenovo for its products, but it kind of fits well with what I have in mind for the creativity workshop.
The challenge would be for a participant to doodle ideas on one sheet of paper in a notepad. Each idea on the sheet could be related or unrelated. It would just be interesting to see whether a single sheet of paper is limiting or inspiring.
So for example, let’s provide each participant with a piece of art sketch paper then have them draw an object (eg, a building, maybe even specifically a hotel) then have them come up with solutions to problems commonly associated with buildings (eg, climate control).
Remember that ideas could be vertical or in-plane.
