Imagination Takes Over!!

Children have vibrant, colorful and beautiful minds, even when it doesn't seem to be that way. They're always thinking of new ways to create something fun and it all starts with their imagination. A child's mindset tends to be looking for ways to make whatever it is they're doing fun, that's what they think their lives are all about. When they're given some materials they can create some wonderful works of art.

In class during the teaching units one of the groups presented the same information. They talked about art materials and how it adds to any child's imagination is many ways. Each student was given an array of different materials and was asked to create something from our imaginations. I had trouble at the beginning because it didn't seem possible to create anything with the materials that were given to us. All of a sudden I began to think as if I were a child. That was when i created Gerald the Giraffe.
