According to Sir Ken Robinson, creativity is as important as literacy. Creativity to me needs to be nourished in young children. I also agree that children are educated through creativity. In schools there is so much emphasis on academic, that the creativity part is sometimes forgotten. This is where academic inflation comes into play.
Some children are born creative and are artists from the start. They express themselves better through different types of art, such drawing, dancing, or writing. They are very active children and some people think that placing them on medications will help, but it only hinders them from being creative and expressing themselves. I enjoyed this presentation and feel that some interesting points were made and we should always encourage our students to be creative.
