    I’m Michael “The Tech Rabbi” Cohen. I'm the Director of Innovation at @Yulaboys H.S. in Los Angeles. My recent creative struggle has been overcoming perfection. I care so much about providing value to others and producing great work that sometimes it keeps me at 0%. #K12ArtChat

    A1. Legos are a great way to spark creativity. One of our writers, @thesolothinker is a mechanical engineer and he believes that the most important step towards building something useful is to build something that tries to get work done. Improvements come later. #k12ArtChat (1/2)

  • a_teachers_hat Jul 19 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    A1. Legos accomplish exactly that purpose. You can make something out of it that gets work done, but how economical, or minimal or simple it is, is an experiment. And that experimentation can spark creativity. #k12ArtChat (2/2)

    #k12artchat #a1 I think #sketchbooks are a great way to spark creativity without having to lead to a final product
  • manuelherrera33 Jul 19 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A1: We start with a lot of brainstorming and sketching ideas. Generating as many ideas as we can first. Post it notes, index cards, writable surfaces. So much power in simple sketches. You can iterate a sketch much quicker. #k12ArtChat

    A1 last year I did some open ended steam activities that gave students opportunities to problem solve,but didn’t necessarily produce a final product. I was surprised how engaged the students were! #K12ArtChat
  • sadieclorinda Jul 19 @ 9:40 PM EDT

    Q1: I use drama as a way for students to be creative without there needing to be a final product. I go into role with them as well. #principalshavingfun #K12ArtChat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Jul 19 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A1: While I was teaching K-5, my Kinders were doing the Design Thinking circles. where they turned them into something different every time! (They made about 10) #K12ArtChat
  • KimSnodgrass Jul 19 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A1 DON'T GIVE SOLUTIONS! QUESTION THEM! CHALLENGE THEM! ❓❔❓❔❓❔❓❔❓ "If you consistently ask questions that lead to creative and outside-the-box thinking, your mind will provide you with creative and outside-of-the-box answers." ~@burgessdave #K12ArtChat

    Love this activity! Totally builds creative confidence! #k12ArtChat
    In reply to @Artguy76
  • epesART Jul 19 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2 yes... and I am really focusing on creating a brave space 4 ss to find/grow creative mindset. Too often, ss are scared to make/create based on external reactions or internal self-doubt. I think the most important aspect of a creative mindset is confidence, courage #k12artchat
  • trevorabryan Jul 19 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A1 I run a 100% choice classroom. Inherent in this kind of space are lots of unfinished ideas. But I totally believe that exploration and tinkering, trying out ideas are essential to creative practice and creative breakthroughs. #k12artchat
  • TheTechRabbi Jul 19 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    Play is so important in learning! The most successful companies in the world today thrive because play and experimentation is not just encouraged but expected. #k12ArtChat

  • tigher79 Jul 19 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A1: I allow the Ss to practice a technique with different materials. It helps to spark their creativity while making them comfortable with the materials. #k12ArtChat

    #sketchnotes are great because it’s not about building a masterpiece but using drawing and visuals to convey a message and share ideas. #k12ArtChat
    In reply to @jamie_wardley
  • creativityvault Jul 19 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    Oh I love that idea! It’s easy to give to much - I could see how limiting would force creative thinking without feeling overwhelmed. #k12ArtChat
    In reply to @atragg
  • jayneesweet Jul 19 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A1 I am planning on doing speed art - like speed dating on the first day of school. It will do ntroduce Ss to different creative acts. #k12ArtChat
  • a_teachers_hat Jul 19 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2. Usually, we should focus on exploring all inputs and resources we have at hand as much as we can. That's where creativity really steps in. If you figure out what to do, a creative output is usually less work, and consequentially, less fun too. ;) #k12ArtChat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Jul 19 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A1: My Kinders spent the first two classes partnered up, walking around the classroom looking for shapes and letters! ( Taking picts w/ iPads #K12ArtChat #ADEChat
  • sadieclorinda Jul 19 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: Absolutely! Like anything else, we need to teach kids process before teaching content. Otherwise, it becomes overwhelming. Fostering the mindset sets them up for success when you bring in content later. #k12ArtChat
  • KimSnodgrass Jul 19 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Thanks for sharing! I am totally going to check this out! Have you heard of the game Disruptus? Here are the instructions... https://t.co/rwmq53pJxW I think it definitely has creative educational potential. Don't really even need the game, could create your own! 🌟✨#K12ArtChat
    In reply to @TheTechRabbi
  • creativityvault Jul 19 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2 I absolutely do! I can teach anyone to create or mimic others work. If I want to inspire creativity I have teach my Ss to tap own creativity. It can be done while learning the basic skills & once it hits completely Ss blow you out of the water at any age lvl #K12ArtChat

    In reply to @sadieclorinda
  • rstachon Jul 19 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A2 For sure! Most Ss get freaked out when you have them create something that is not prescribed. It’s a different mindset from what they are usually asked to use. #K12ArtChat

    A2: I believe these go hand in hand. We’ve all listed exercises that encourage creativity and most of them have some sort of output. It’s from there we can explain how Ss are developing and creative mindset. #k12ArtChat
  • sadieclorinda Jul 19 @ 9:47 PM EDT

    In reply to @Artguy76
  • trevorabryan Jul 19 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2 I think they go hand in hand. Creativity is a skill. You get better at creating by creating. Sometimes the mindset can lead the creation or sometimes the creation can drive the mindset. Creativity is an ongoing cycle of exploration, understanding & creation. #k12artchat
  • k12artchat - Moderator Jul 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

  • ArtLadyHBK Jul 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    My classroom builds off the Studio Habits of Mind. I believe students can jump around the different skills to find their own recipe for creative making. Some might start with reflection or observations while others may be inspired through exploration #k12artchat #a2
  • VineNatalie Jul 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    Q2: I think developing a creative mindset can be done in conjunction with developing creative output. I don’t believe it’s linear. Creativity is not linear. #K12ArtChat

    I would love to see a finished example if you have one. #k12ArtChat

  • jamie_wardley Jul 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2 it’s tough to “teach” this especially to older Ss with fixed mindsets but I think pouring on the encouragement , holding judgement , and celebrating failures can help . #NeverGiveUp #K12ArtChat
  • tigher79 Jul 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2: I do. The Ss may need guidance or bounce ideas with me. I love it when their idea, at the end, turns into their best work. #k12ArtChat

  • ArtWithMsKeith Jul 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT
  • epesART Jul 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A3 intentionality is so important. So many ss fake it by playing game of school. Intentionality inspires ss 2 make connections between self, others & the world we live in. Connections to content become a byproduct of a deeper learning journey & not the destination #k12artchat

  • manuelherrera33 Jul 19 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    As creatives we understand this so well. Our struggle comes from helping others embrace this thinking. I try to look at it from the other side. I’m not organized/structured. What would it take for me to embrace organization/structure in my process? #k12ArtChat

    A3 intentional! Ss need to feel a personal connection with their artmaking, otherwise they don't even want to keep it even when is is aesthetically beautiful #K12ArtChat
  • creativityvault Jul 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3 Interesting question. I don’t think you can fake it. You can mimic others but that isn’t being creative- exploring ideas & playing with ideas & media lead to creative thinking Sometimes that becomes intentional other times creativity sneaks up in you and bites ya #K12ArtChat
  • KimSnodgrass Jul 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A2 Students need to understand their creative style is as unique as their fingerprint! Help them embrace it & provide opportunities to practice their creativity! ✨🌟✨ "It's not okay to throw your hands in defeat because you're not naturally creative." ~@burgessdave #K12ArtChat

    Have you ever heard of A+ Schools? (Arts integrated schools) You would be amazed at the amount of creative processes you can bring into the math room. What is a lesson you know students struggle with? #k12ArtChat

    So glad I made it! After a lot of reflection over my past year & how to improve as an educator and artist the glaring thing I noticed is getting cut off from this amazing PLN hurt me... so it is back to a priority! #k12ArtChat

    A5: My 1st Graders Learning abt several different abstract artists. Then worked together to make a design. (Took away a piece, cut up another, then added yellow or white crayon lines) Didn’t think they would turnout, but DID! #K12ArtChat (Moore,Matisse, Laurent)

    A6: It really is about developing trust first. We share failures and celebrate Happy Accidents. The “Art Family” reminds each other that if the worst thing that happens is we don’t like a product it’s still a good day #k12artchat
