IMAGE AS A STIMULATION OF A CREATIVE ACTIVITY

Application of creative pedagogy in educational process contributes to the development of vivid thought and search activity. Creative process as a ramified system of possible actions requires production of new images which later get transformed into notions, judgments, strategies and tactics for solving creative tasks. Image which plays the role of impressing may stimulate creativity as a derivative of excitement refracted through the motivation structure. Image is a result of imagination which provides for the development of the right hemisphere and triggers multiple context thought. Right-hemispheric activities, establishing multivalent connections, together with vivid thought contribute to recovery of enquiry and research activities. In this sense vivid thought becomes one of the most significant criteria of creative activity. Images of previous actions become patterns not only for a standard decision but also for taking a non-standard one in future. Images which have been connected by our consciousness with a particular way of behavior in certain life situations need to be transferred into a similar or new situation, thus inciting to cognitive interest. Images, various visual objects and their combinations serve pupils (students) as certain patterns for comparison, determine individual peculiarities of perception and understanding, impact the structure of their thinking.
