The Study of Creative Process in Problem Solving Waste Material Into Commercial Product

Abstract

Abstract Creativity is the rationale possessed by humans in which conscious and unconscious processes occur in problem solving and the creation of a work product. Creativity in the process of creating each individual, especially in the field of design education, can be trained by giving stimuli based on the problems obtained in the surrounding environment. This research considers the ecosystem problem through the environment, especially industrial waste with rattan material, which accounts for almost 10% of waste from raw materials used every month. The waste treatment becomes a medium for sharpening student creativity. The study was conducted by conducting a project design that processes waste problems into new, more commercial products to see the creative process. Research involves lecturers and experts from the design industry related to the process and achievement of creativity based on thinking patterns in solving a problem. Various results were found where the achievement of creativity through the process was successful and some failed. This design project-based training is a challenge for lecturers to be able to improve their role performance and direct students as young designers to sharpen their creative abilities.
