Picasso’s technique

Collect as much material as you can about your problem. Read through all material as rapidly as you can in one sitting until you are “filled” with your subject. Ask yourself, what your Mind Map means. What have you uncovered that you didn’t know was there? Do you notice any patterns? What do they suggest? What solutions pop into your head? Guernica Start from arbitrary theme and Mind Map. Refashion your map as your thoughts and topic change.
