Grade 10 Art - Day 14

The second step in the creative process is Imagining.  Imagination is one of the most important elements of creativity!  As a child, you likely imagined that you were a great many things: a firefighter, a princess, a princess that fights fires, etc.  As we age, many other elements of our daily lives displace our time spent imagining, but thankfully we have art class to sit back and imagine!!

Now that you have found your inspiration in step one, begin to imagine the many variables in expressing your initial thoughts that inspired you.

Destination Imagination, a global leader in teaching the creative process, breaks imagination down in the following way:



- Applying thinking skills to develop ideas for solutions

- Learning to think flexibly between divergent (tending to be different) and convergent (coming closer together) processes

- Learning fluency and future thinking

As a point of interest, let's watch this video of a blind artist painting from imagination!
