Problem seeking and problem solving

Once again this was kinda a refresher course in what we already know, but i think that it reinforced some key conceptual ideas. Distinguishing between convergent and divergent thinking and addressing situations when it is best to use one over the other was a good thing to highlight. Also, placing emphasis on usually overlooked brainstorming techniques and visual sketching was important because all to often we cut these simple yet effective techniques out of our art making process as a shortcut. Overall i felt that the chapter was a good review of the proper way to solve a problem.
