Combinatory Thinking Definition:
Combinatory Thinking: Visual thinking that tends to promote the merging, mixing or coalescing of separate configurational ideas into a new unified whole.
These illustrations show the process of combining elements.
Recentering: The creative seeing ability to flexibily change from one imaginative filter to another. Creative seeing requires this ability to see from alternative viewpoints with its differing proportional emphasis on imagination and sensation.
No Lose Philosophy: An attitude of finding usefulness in all visual configurations from the past history of the individual. By not losing these bits of one's past, they can be brought into a working relationship with the interests and enthusiasms of today. Thus, new combinations representing novel solutions are more likely.
