The more you use, the more you have.”  \n-MAYA ANGELOU  \nreativity can be revealed in many ways, including through drawing,  \nCwCrreitaintigv,isctyuisl patl sinogp, paartintofingST, pEhMotcl ogasrsaepsh(ysc, imeunsceic, ,tdeancechnol andogy, pelanyg.ineering,  \nmathematics) where students utilize a design process that helps create solutions for problems. Even on a soccer field, you can see creativity as a player uses their feet to manipulate the ball around a defensive player. If you have ever watched a young child build with Legos or a child tell a story with superhero figurines, you have observed creative children at work!  \nArt is a wonderful way for children to express their feelings and “use” their creativity.  \nSometimes as adults we can “get in the way” of the creativity of children. Robert Schirrmacher, an instructor of early childhood education, encourages adults to listen to a child’s explanation of their artwork without letting their own assumptions to get in the way.  \nSchirrmacher cautions us to be careful about complimenting artwork. Comments such as,“What a beautiful picture” may result in an automatic“Thank you” from the child. The child may feel that everything they create needs to be beautiful. Encouraging rather than complimenting invites the child to express a range of feelings in their artwork and discuss the story behind their work. You might say, “I can see you put a lot of time and energy into your work, can you tell me about it?”  \nSchirrmacher suggests the following approaches:  \n• Focus on the abstract and design qualities of the artwork such as: color, line, shapes, space and texture. For example,“Your picture is very colorful; can you tell me about your purple turtle?”  \n• Use open-ended questions to invite the child to share.“Can you tell me about the object you made with the clay?”“Can you share how you felt dancing to the music?”  \n• Make observations about the art without interpreting it to the child—let the child tell you. “I noticed a lot of jagged lines in your picture…can you tell me about them?”  \n• If objects are easily recognizable, something helpful to say might be, “I see you drew a building with some people in front of it. Can you tell me who they are…what are they doing?”  \nWhen we encourage children to share what they have created, their artwork and creations can offer much about their thoughts and feelings.  \n“Play is the work of children. It’s serious stuff.” -BOB KEESHAN  \nPatti Gasparello, MSW, LCSW Director of Kids Path  \nC O N N E C T I O N S  \nChildren ISSUE 12 | 8/14/2020  \nLEARNING RESOURCE  \nThis issue of the newsletter is focused on creativity and expressive arts. We’ve included a website that describes ways to promote creativity in your home. The article may not fit with every parenting style, but gives good developmentally appropriate ideas for how to encourage your kids to step out of the “boredom” rut that I’m sure so many kids are struggling with these days. It helps us as parents reflect on how our limits can sometimes interfere with their natural curiosity. I hope this helps inspire new ideas and expression within your homes!  \nRead the article here.   \nMEDIA SPOTLIGHT  \nOur media spotlight this week is a Youtube Channel offered by McHarper Manor, an art school located in Ohio. Since the beginning of Quarantine, they began recording videos of different art activities for families to do with their kids. If you follow the link below, you can access the whole catalog of art activities. Some of them will require specific art supplies. We hope you can find videos that will inspire art expression.  \nVisit the Youtube channel here.   \nFAMILY ACTIVITY  \nPlay the Scribble Game  \nHere’s a game to get those creative juices flowing! For this game, each player will need their own sheet of paper and some coloring materials (a pencil will also work) .
