The Group Project for the semester will depart somewhat from normal in keeping with the call for social distancing. Normally I ask you to design a small museum exhibition that illustrate key concepts on Creativity. Instead of putting together a normal museum exhibition, I want you to create a “virtual museum tour” of an exhibition on Creativity and the Creative Process.

A number of museums around the world are offering such virtual tours online, so there are a number of examples to use as models for your virtual tour. You will be asked to present it for the visitor who is encountering it online. You may use any program that would suit this – I would put it together on PowerPoint, but that’s because I’m fairly ignorant when it comes to setting up a website. Use whatever program you feel most comfortable with that allows you to integrate text and visual images, utilizing video and narration if it serves your purpose.

The exhibition should illustrate and explain several of the ideas, concepts, models, etc. that you – individually and collectively – found most useful, intriguing, engaging, meaningful or eye-opening. It’s to be presented to a general audience of any age group or education level in a way that is engaging.

While I will be looking for you to bring in specific ideas covered in class, I want you to use them creatively. Instead of simply telling the visitor about the Wallas Model, I want you frame it in a new and unexpected way. The best approach to this is to think “bisociatively” or analogically. That is, I want you to combine it with another subject matter.

There are several approaches I can immediately think of for this. One approach could be to look at the creative process in a particular domain – in the sciences, technology, business, art, literature, music or any of the majors we have here at Cal Poly – and illustrate the ideas through that particular domain.

Alternatively, you could illustrate it through a story or situation or set of characters from well-known stories, movies, etc. You might use characters or events from the Wizard of Oz to depict the role of though, feelings and courage in the creative process. Or you could look at the creative process from an historical or cross cultural perspective. I am open to other approaches – remember to think metaphorically.

The exhibition should reflect what the online visitor will encounter – image, script, signage that they will read, and some sense of the floor plan or layout of the exhibition and any design elements. A number of museums around the world are offering these kinds of virtual tours of their exhibits. Here’s one possible source.

I recommend you find examples of virtual tours other than art museums. Children’s museums, cultural museums, science and technology museums, natural history museums are better models. You may imagine that your exhibition is set up in one of these unusual types of museums.

You’ve got a great deal of flexibility as to what you will present. It may involve specific creative thinking techniques, explore the nature of the creative process or look at the impact of creativity on the culture. Make sure you have enough substance to engage visitors for ten to fifteen minutes or more.

In addition, I want a 3-5 page paper (with illustrations and cover page) explaining your concept and how you have incorporated specific ideas in your proposal. The group projects will be presented the last week of classes.

And remember to have some fun along the way.
