Author: Melissa Rich Role: University Location: Norton, MA Date: 10-08-02 With today's art "projects," children are given a project to complete, and once finished, the classroom teacher ends up with 20 some odd carbon copies of the same project. This does not allow for any creativity within the students' minds to be exhibited. To allow for structure AND creativity, we could try a theme for the day (week, month, etc.), and give children a basis for their project, then allow them to try things as they wish.
