I was a pretty normal child. I like to play with friends and family. I would make up what I wanted to do and play house. I also liked to play supermarket. Librarian, and Doctor. I got to be whatever we wanted. It was all pretend though. As, I was watching the video’s for unit six, the video, Tales of Creativity and Play by Tim Brown reminded me of how I used to play. He talked about how we needed trust to play and trust to be creative. That makes sense. I usually only played with family. People how I trust. I played with people around my age. I think that was my trust to be creative, because people around my age would pretend with me. He mentioned exploration and building with your hands. As a child I loved to explore outside and would use my hands to make mud pies and so on. He also mentioned role play. I loved to role play, because I could do anything I wanted. As I grew up I realized it was a lot harder to be a whatever I wanted on the spur of the moment. One thing stuck though. That was my creativity. Creativity to me is limitless. My creativity used to be forced. I …show more content…
The vanishing point was creative because it made me look into the painting more and find the lines. The Wolfflin analysis made me look at a painting like I have never done before. I had to really look at the core of it and point out details I have never thought of before. It was creative to look at all the art and pull apart the details. I think the hermeneutical circle was the most creative. To put pieces together like that was very creative. To take a piece of art and apply it to a painting then add more to it to make a whole was very interesting. How the artist Seurat painting Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of Grande Jatte. Was amazing how he would just sketch a person and then sketch a different person then go home and place everyone as a whole together was very creative how he laid it
What about writing and the writing process makes it so disliked and, in some cases, even feared? “Fun?” by Lex Runciman, an English teacher at the Linfield College in Oregon, is an insightful article that explores why many people don’t enjoy writing. He is a very credible author because he has taught college English classes for many years and has written and published several books. His main claim throughout the article is that many people dislike writing and feel that it is frustrating because it is not perceived as or made out to be fun, enjoyable, or rewarding. Runciman wrote this article because, at the time, he felt that there was not enough being done to reverse the negative image that surrounds writing. He wants his readers to realize through his article that writing and the writing process can actually be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Runciman uses evidence, assumptions, and language and tone as a basis for his argument.
Many of these artists' works contain subtle hints to the author's opinion on the subject. By analyzing their central compositional effects, the viewer can obtain a greater appreciation and understanding for the art.
In chapter three, it says we are built for play, and says that the types of effects of play on brain development include new neural connections as well as learning and social interaction benefits. There are eight types of play personality that are described: the joker, kinesthete, explorer, competitor, director, collector, artist/creator, and storyteller. The joker is the most basic and extreme player throughout history. A joker always results in some kind of nonsense. Nonsense is the first type of human play we engage in; all babies talk nonsense when they first start talking. Kinesthetes are people who need to move in order to think. In fact, we all have started our lives by exploring the world around us. The chapter says some of us never lose their excited interest for it. The book says, “Exploration things become their preferred avenue into the different universe of play – their ways of remaining creative and provoking the imagination” (Brown 44). A competitor

Creativity is an essential attribute of human beings that is primarily developed in our childhood. Creativity is defined as the ability to use the imagination to develop new and original ideas or things, especially in an artistic context. This artistic context can range anywhere from visual arts, to music, to dance. Although, the problem today is that this critical role of imagination, discovery, and creativity in a child 's education is not being fulfilled to its maximum. The cause of this expanding problem is that too many art and music programs, which promote creativity, are being taken out of school programs. Problems around this issue then begin to surface; children will soon not appreciate, or realize, creativities ' vital importance and how it shapes oneself. Therefore, curriculum in schools is limiting the growth and development of creativity in adolescents.
Many people have their own Golden Ages. It is like a dream that a person
Children have a natural inclination to play, alongside a natural instinct to learn and to be curious and inventive, which are characteristics of the human race in general. This quote taken from Janet Moyles is a good starting point for this essay. It is well known that children love to play. If a child were to be left to his/her own devices they would happily play and create new worlds anywhere they were left. It has been well documented and researched that children learn excellently through play. However they are not always given the opportunity to do so, instead being told to, ‘finish your work and then you can go play’. Obviously this is not always the case, but the fact that it is a common practice shows that we do not all fully appreciate the importance of play to children’s learning. This essay will attempt to show how children learn through play, making reference to current theory and practice. I will also give examples from my own first-hand experience of how children learn and develop as people through play.
I was always a creative child; it was something I just could not not be. Back then I didn’t know how to be ‘normal.’ While the other children wrote their essays about their mothers and pets or their best friends, I wrote about becoming birds or about ducks building robots. Truly. I suppose I could blame it on my parents – my father for trying to teach me how to read when I was too young and my mother for reading The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein to me as my bedtime story – but I know, truthfully, that it wasn’t their fault. It is no one’s fault, for I do not see my strange imagination as a terrible, abnormal thing. I do know that no one in particular influenced my creativity when I was younger, but I remember being obsessive about certain stories. I remember when I got my first computer – a 16-color piece of, well, garbage that barely ran. But even though it was so old and primitive, it opened new doors for my imagination, and I spent my childhood either playing games about knights and dragons or running around outside and acting out my own unscripted scenari...
... These artists or this particular art movement were significant to art history not just because they created a new form of art work, but because not only is it an exceptional form of art, but it’s unusual. Not really unusual but different, it’s different because of how short the art movement was. It was short but it has been long lived by many people and young artists today. In the end, this art movement was not only great, but worth it.
Thinking back on my childhood, I first remember all the times I played outside in my backyard. I would pretend to dig up dinosaur bones or create imaginary realms of ancient lands; there I would perform diplomatic services for the people in need. I was usually alone, and those are some of my fondest memories. When I first decided to become a teacher and thought about what is important to my philosophy on how children learn, I immediately knew I was a strong believer in play. Although, many decision makers such as legislators and school district leaders believe in more academic types of learning styles, my paper will discuss why play is so powerful and important to children.
As a child, no matter where you grew up or what race you are, you had fun. Obviously not all of the time, as you have responsibilities at all ages and times of your life, but children still have fun. May it be playing with dolls, joining a club, or playing sports, children find a way to enjoy themselves. As well as any aged human, children are creative. Some children might be more creative than others, but all children have a sense of creativity. Being creative can be a positive or a negative feature of a person, as creativity could cause you to find crafty ways to get around the law, while it is also possible to use your creativity to solve problems in stressful situations that could be potentially life threatening. As a child, you
Children develop normally when they are exposed to different types of play that allow them to express themselves while using their imaginations and being physically active. According to the Center for Health Education, Training and Nutrition Awareness, “Play is child’s work”; this is true because it is a child’s job to learn and develop in their first few years of life, in order for them to do this, they play. Not only is playing a child’s full time job, the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights listed play as a right of every child. Through their full time job of play, the children develop emotionally, socially, physically, and creatively. Children need to participate in child-led play in order to facilitate healthy development of their minds, body, and creativity.
Creative Arts in early childhood education refers to children’s participation in a variety of activities that engage their minds, bodies and senses (Sinclair, Jeanneret & O’Toole, 2012; Kearns, 2017); to inspire all children with the opportunity for creative and imaginative expression. Duffy (2006) and Sinclair et al. (2012) state that creativity is the process where children use their imagination to problem solve, develop new ideas, independence and flexibility to accomplish tasks. Furthermore, when educators foster creativity, they are assisting children in making meaning through play and developing their growing capacity to communicate, collaborate and think critically to meet the demands of life in the 21st century (Duffy, 2006; Korn-Bursztyn, 2012; Sinclair et al., 2012).

Through these early stages of art discussed above, it shows how the foundation for today’s modern works was laid out. They show how art has developed from simple cave paintings, to the tremendous force in society that it is today.
