Teaching Art to elementary students
Introduction to creativity
The origin of the word creativity comes from the Latin word `creatus '
which means `to have grown . Creativity involves the production of novel
and useful creative work irrespective of the field of creation . A
creative person should have imaginative power and should be capable of
producing the imagination into reality . Creativity is possible in all
areas of human activity , including the arts and sciences , at work and at
play , and in all other areas of daily life . All people possess creative
ability . Creative impulse can move anyone .
Some people more creative than others
Creativity depends on the personal intelligence . The people who are
more inclined towards producing useful ideas are more likely to invent
creative things .
Creativity is innate
There is no formal schooling for creativity . Creativity is the innate
quality which is possessed by one and all . Exposure and exploration
relies on the various factors . Ones daily and routine life may play a
major role in producing the creative abilities .
Creative talent can be inculcated
In fact , much of the most fundamental research exploring the extra /
ordinariness of creativity derive from work with young , often pre-school
children . One reason may be that such work tends to be therapeutic
rather than assessment-driven : more concerned with stimulating and
helping than with grading . Another reason - what conservative critics

which stifle his creative processes (Winnicott 1971 :79 ) And it was in
the normal functioning of the healthy child that he saw the most
profound and pervasive evidence of and basis for human creativity (Pope , 2005 , p . 54 ,55 )
Creativity and external influences
Creativity is undoubtedly influenced by the external factors .
Creativity is the result of intrinsic motivation . The task motivation of
a person is specific to particular task and has baseline attitude
towards the task determined by appraisal and perceptions for motivation
for understanding the task largely determined by external social and
environmental factors . There is always a role of situational factors in
the production of creative solutions .
Creativity , criticism and evaluation
Creativity is always referred to in positive terms . Criticism and
evaluation of a particular act or result of creativity improves the
degree of performance . Creative person often overlooks or neglects
things which may not be suitable for the particular creation . The role
of critics plays important in such cases and may result in producing a
non-comparable and more appealing creation .
Expression of creativity is a must
Expression of creativity should be appreciated and encouraged .
Creativity is not the booty of few . Creativity is fundamentally a matter
of practice , what we do and how we do , with whatever...
