Creativity and critical reflection

This question requires you to demonstrate your knowledge of the concept of creativity.

Question 1

Reading

What we mean by creativity. The Lego Foundation

https://www.legofoundation.com/media/2312/what-we-mean-by-creativity.pdf

The Lego Foundation describes creativity as processes of connecting, exploring and transforming. The Lego Foundation refer to the connection between play and creativity as both reciprocal and interwoven (a chicken and egg concept).

  1. Read the document, critically reflect on the concept of creativity, and drawing on your own philosophy on creativity create a word cloud to represent your own understanding.

Below is a list of programs you can use and an example of a word cloud created on classroom learning:

Word Cloud Programs:

  • http://worditout.com/
  • https ://tagul.com/
  • http://www.tagxedo.com/
Whenever we try something new we are considered creative. The concept of creativity is in built in children. Creativity connects us to the world and encourages us to explore it. This is what children do when they play. The act creativity is intentional. It is a process that needs to be cultivated slowly. It is a dynamic process that aims at creating something new. Creativity is the gateway of innovation and when we try to include fun in the learning’s we are being creative. The art of creativity is instinctive in children and that can also be continued in adults. Being creative means being motivated and eager to explore the world that is around us(Roque,2016).
  1. Now that you have explored the reading, critically reflect on your own perceptions of creativity. Do you consider yourself to be creative? Why? Why not? How might you further develop your creativity?
Creativity is an art of exploring and trying out something new every time. This feature is naturally seen in children and might be continued in their adulthood also. The art of creativity is nurtured overtime. Creativity is the gateway of innovation and when we try to include fun in the learning’s we are being creative. The curiosity and imagination that we develop in our self is also creativity. The trying out of new ideas and different things is also considered as creativity. I do consider myself to be creative as I try out new things and have different ideas and opinions about different stuffs. I can further develop my creativity by bring more curious and out looking(Roque,2016).
  1. Page 15 of your reading states that ‘creativity must be developed in concert with a sense of ethics’. For example, it might be creative to splatter paint onto the easel but is it a good choice because of the mess it will create in a confined space.?  Explain why it’s important to teach children that not all creative choices are appropriate.
Children cannot differentiate between good and bad. Hence teaching them appropriate creative choice is important. Creativity should be ethical and children must be taught that. The creativity should be ethical as per the rules and norms of the society. If children do not learn this they can harm themselves and the people around them (Gajda, et al., 2017).

Requirements of the NQS, Regulations and Laws

This question requires you to demonstrate your knowledge of NQS QA1, QA2, QA3 and QA5, regulations and laws as they relate to nurturing creativity in young children. These questions will also demonstrate your knowledge of:

  • Techniques and skills, maintenance of resources and equipment used in creative experiences
  • Ways to structure experiences in the above areas that encourage and support children’s agency and ensure safety.

Question 2

Read the scenario to answer the question.

The arts zone

Blue Bay Early Learning Centre now has a dedicated ‘arts zone’ where children can safely engage in clay work, painting, sculpture, collage and various craft. The area contains a preparation sink, a sink for hand washing (children and educators), paper towel dispenser, open shelving for easy access to cleaning materials such as cleaning cloths, bucket, dustpan and broom, mop and floor broom. Art/craft supplies such paper, paint, cardboard, glue, sticky tape, staplers, hole punch, clay buckets, collage materials, scissor, brushes, etc. are stored in another set of open shelves. The walls are lined with pin boards so that children and educators can display images of interest such as art, sculpture, animals, architecture, scenery etc.

Non-slip vinyl flooring has been used which is easy to keep clean. If there is a spill of liquids on the floor the children know to get a floor cloth and wipe the spill or ask an educator for help. There are also drying racks and places where children can leave unfinished work to come back to at a later date (this allows children to work at their own pace).

The children are free to choose how they would like to work in the arts zone and often there are several different types of work in progress, with children using a range of different materials and art techniques.

Each day an educator is assigned to support the children and supervise their safety.

Educator Samir has been working with the children to show them how to use the various resources/materials and how they must be maintained and cared for to reduce waste (e.g. putting lids on felt pens, wrapping clay in damp cloth and placing in bucket with lid on, cleaning brushes etc). The children know that when it’s time to move away from the area they must clean their workspace and tidy the area ready for use the next day.

The educators role model how to share workspaces and resources and support children to assist each other as needed and work collaboratively.

Each week a few children volunteer to tidy the containers of loose materials. Last week Jamil decided he would sort the coloured pencils and felt-tip pens by colour. He asked Samir to help him write each colour on a sticker which he attached to the containers.

  1. How is the service demonstrating Section 165 National Law – adequate supervision and QA 2.2.1 Supervision – ‘At all times, reasonable precautions and adequate supervision ensure children are protected from harm and hazard’?
There should be reasonable precautions taken at all times as per law. An instructor should be there to demonstrate the uses of resources and materials to the children all the time. They should take adequate precaution to ensure that the children are safe from harm and hazard(Gajda, et al., 2017).
  1. What techniques and skills are being used to maintain and care for resources and equipment in the arts zone and meet the requirements of QA 3.1.2 Upkeep – ‘Premises, furniture and equipment are safe, clean and well maintained’?
There should be reasonable precautions taken at all times to keep the resources and the equipment’s safe. In the arts zone the instructor must demonstrate the use to the children before their use.

1. Putting lids on felt pens (Handling skills)

2. Wrapping clay with damp cloth (Handling skills)

3. Placing the bucket with lid on (Handling skills)

4. Cleaning of brushes (Handling skills)

  1. How is the service demonstrating QA 5.2.1 Collaborative learning ‘Children are supported to collaborate, learn from and help each other’?
Children should see the demonstration and learn collaborative learning. This will be achieved through teamwork and collaborating with different people through collaborative activities.
  1. How is the service is demonstrating QA 1.2.3 Child directed learning ‘Each child’s agency is promoted, enabling them to make choices and decisions that influence events and their world’?
The child is demonstrated decision making skills and the child learn to make his own choices and decisions that influence his world. It is demonstrated through different activities and learning’s.

 Process versus product: The role of arts in development and learning

The following questions require you to demonstrate current research and theories about the role of the arts and creativity including the value of processes as well as product.

Every finished product will look:
Process Product
●    Different ●    Same
Children focus on:
Process Product
●    Creative exploring ●    Getting right the final product

 Question 4

Textbook reference

Frameworks for Learning and Development (5th edition) by Karen Kearns

Chapter 3 (page 144)

Explain the relationship between process, product and creativity as it relates to young children.

There is a relationship between process, product and creativity that is inter-connected to young children. The process is the way by which creativity is achieved and demonstrated. It includes every stage that makes up the product. The product is the final outcome of the process that the children get to see. The children use creativity as a tool to go through the process to achieve the final product. Young children are more concerned about creativity process than creativity product(Tanggaard, 2014).

Question 5

Read the scenario and explain why the experience is an example of a creative process that includes ways of thinking, experimenting, imagining, understanding, expressing, wondering, hypothesising, making and doing.

Exploring Eric Carle

As part of the intentional teaching program educators Eden and Tom have planned a series of experiences to introduce the preschool children to different artists and explore visual art techniques such as painting, drawing and collage. The children have chosen to investigate children’s book illustrators who use paint and collage such as Eric Carle, Leo Leonie, Neil Edmundson & Charlie Sutton.

Currently they are exploring the work of Eric Carle. They gathered all of the books from the centre illustrated by Eric Carle and discussed the images in the books. Each child was asked to select a favourite illustration. The educator asked the children how Eric Carle might have created his artwork – the children responded with ideas such as painting, colouring-in, drawing and printing. Next the children watched several videos made by Carle that demonstrate the step-by-step techniques he uses to create his work. Over several weeks the children have recreated these steps and have now produced some amazing artwork.

The children have asked if they can send Eric Carle their pictures.

What the children said:

‘We watched a video.’

‘First we had to do lots of painting and printing so we could get our paper.’

‘We made colours like Eric Carle showed us.’

‘We did experimenting’.

‘We used tissue paper and tracing paper.’

‘We had to let the paint dry and then put more paint on’.

‘I made patterns with a sponge and a toothbrush’.

‘We had to draw and trace and cut and paste. It was a lot of work and took a long, long time.’

‘I painted a sun with crunched up plastic. I didn’t know you could do that!’

By exploring and creating artworks with children, educators can share the techniques and meaning making potential of drawing, painting, sculpture/craft, and multimedia (Dinham and Chalk, 2018; Wright, 2012).

Experience gives us the required information and makes us familiar with new things. Without experience we cannot be familiar with new ideas and imagining. Experience opens up the mind to wonder and imagine creative things. This is especially true in young children who are unfamiliar with most of the things in this world. They need to be introduced to new thing through their experience. As they tend to gain more experience they learn the creative process through different ways. They think, experiment, imagine, and understand, express, wonder, hypothesis and make new things to get into the creative process(Tanggaard, 2014).

 The role of arts in development and learning

The following questions require you to demonstrate your knowledge of current research and theories about the role of the arts and creativity in development and learning.

Question 6

To answer these questions, you must access the following reading.

Reading

The Arts in early childhood learning. David Roy & Karen Watson

  1. After reading and analysing the article describe threekey points that you have learned about the research and theory of creative arts in the context of early childhood learning.
Creative arts not only helps to understand young children to know their world but also helps them to express their knowing and to make sense of their experience of this world.

Creative arts makes young children to decide for themselves and elevate their decision making skills in later stage of their life.

Creative arts fosters risk taking capabilities in young children and nurtures the exploration skills in them at a young age(Beghetto, 2020).

  1. With reference to the reading, provide one example of how the arts might be delivered in an early learning environment to foster relationships such as exploration and acceptance of individual differences and personal preferences in music, art, artists etc.
Creative arts fosters early coordination with theirs that might be helpful in early learning’s.  It improves risk taking capabilities in young children and nurtures the exploration skills in them at a young age. It helps in resolving individual differences through empathy and understandings(Beghetto, 2020).
  1. With reference to the reading, provide one example of how arts in an early childhood program might encourage imagination, creativity, enjoyment and meaningful conversations.
Arts in early childhood create various experiences that is helpful in creating imagination, creativity and enjoyment etc. This can be painting, music or sports. The experience gained from this can be utilize t improve the creativity skills.
  1. With reference to the reading, explain how the arts support cultural context to the child’s learning.
The cultural context of the child is supported byvarious art forms such as music, painting etc. The experience creates curiosity that is essential to nurture creativity in young children, hence it is supports the child’s learning through various experience that contributes to the creative thinking skill of the children(Cochrane &Antonczak, 2015).

  1. Explain how the educator used words and phrases to encourage the children to fly like birds to promote creativity.
The educator was using Facial expressions, whispering, bouncing to encourage the children to fly like birds to promote creativity. She herself was demonstrating the actions and was making children imagine like a bird so that they fly like birds(Marchetti & Cullen, 2015).
  1. The educator used simple props – feathers, xylophone, drum and traffic lights. List the resources (include sustainable) in this video and explain the purpose of these props.
The feather was used to make feel the kids like birds

Xylophone was used for background music

Drums was used to make them dance and then stop

traffic lights were used to sent signal to them while singing song

  1. During the traffic signal dance one boy didn’t follow the educator’s directions; he simply responded in his own unique way by running around the group. Suggest why, on this occasion, the educator chose not to redirect this child.
The educator was letting the child access his creative actions. The educator did not wanted to interrupt in the child’s self learning and creativity styles. This is the reason the educator did not interrupt.
  1. From the video, provide an example of creative opportunities/artistic expression in the following areas
Creative opportunities
Imaginative play Flying like a bird
Movement Dancing
Music Listening to background music
Language and story telling Singing a song

 Question 9

Read the scenario and answer the questions.

African beat

The preschool children have participated in a music and movement experience in which they explored simple beat using a range of musical instruments. The educator asked the children to close their eyes and listen to the newly introduced African music. The educator played the music again and used the tapping sticks to tap the beat. The children were invited to clap the beat. The music was played again as the children played their instruments to match the beat of the music. The educator also provided the children with ribbons to wave as they moved freely to the rhythm of the music.

  1. List two ways in which this music and movement experience supports and nurtures children’s creativity.
The music enhances the listening skills of the child that is a important tool for creative learning.

The movement enhances the body flexibility and hence is important for creative learning.

  1. The images show children actively engaged in this experience. Explain how this strategy of hands-on learning supports children’s creative exploration of art and art forms.
The music enhances the listening skills of the child that is a important tool for creative learning.

The movement enhances the body flexibility and hence is important for creative learning.

Sharing feedback

At the conclusion of the experience the educator observed a group of children at the art table drawing drums. She posed a question to the children. “I wonder if we could make our own drums” and invited them to look in the collage box to see what they could find. In the bottom of the box were a number of coffee cans. She asked the children “Do you think they would make an African beat? Let’s see”. One of the children was very interested and tapped the can loudly. The educator said “That is a great sound Alec” and asked the children; “What do you think, did Alec play an African beat?” The children all nodded and looked for cans in the box. They then proceeded to decorate them finding cloth, sticks, scissors, shells and glue.

The educator stayed with the group, praising efforts and their creativity and assisted them in tidying their space, putting scissors away, wiping tables and filling up the collage with new resources. She then guided them to wash their hands.

She invited the children to sit with their completed drums and share how they decorated them. She asked each child to choose one decorated area on their friends’ drum and tell the group what they liked about it. One of the children, Sarah, told Alec she liked all his stripes, and they were very “straight”.

At home time, Alec showed his dad his drum, telling him the story of how he made it and it made a “fran” beat. The dad told the educator that he played the drums in a band and that Alec was very interested in them. The educator said that they would follow up his interest and let the other educators know.

The educator discussed the experiences and feedback with room colleagues and Alec’s interest. They decided to include more drum experiences in the planning cycle.

  1. How did the educator show flexibility and respond to children’s interests and needs?
The educator praised the efforts of the child and helped them tidying up the space.
  1. What strategies did the educator use to ensure children’s health and safety?

The painting enhances the creative skills of the child that is a important tool for creative learning. The movement enhances the body flexibility and hence is important for creative learning.
  1. Provide examples of how the educator identified and gathered feedback from colleagues, families and children.
The educator gathered feedback from children, families and colleagues to include more drum activities.

 Question 10

Look at each experience and read the descriptor.

Drawing on your knowledge of creativity, explain the forms of artistic expression of each experience. Think about

  • The open-ended potential, supporting children’s agency/choices and the creative potential of the materials being used
  • The opportunities to explore, experiment, manipulate materials to create something unique, opportunities to use imagination, create stories, share ideas and collaborate, offer degrees of challenge and complexity.
  • How you might use intentional teaching to engage in problem-solving, use trial and error.

To assist you with this task an example has been provided.
