Convergent and Divergent thinking

The creative thinking, the way artist think.What is the way artists or inventors think to get a fantastic, Craziest, best idea which is also acceptable.
Convergent and Divergent thinking explained the artists and inventors thinking. Convergent thinking is a term coined by Joy Paul Guilford as the opposite of divergent thinking.

Convergent is a thinking which takes all the information and knowledge and turn it into an answers or a solution. Opposite of it, divergent thinking normally involves brainstorming and looking for alternatives way to solve problems.
