Creativity

What is creativity? Creativity is the use of the imagination, or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.

All of our kids at TaleTree are so creative. Kids show their creativity in so many different ways. This week, we have seen many kids create their own characters. It is always so much fun to see what they come up with and to see the kind characters they like to draw. Their characters are truly amazing. It shows their creativity so well because a lot goes into making a character: deciding on the gender, the hair, the facial features, the clothing, and often times a name for their character. The characters are not always people either. Many of our kids make their own cartoon versions of animals, giving them cute people like characteristics. Creativity has no set direction, and that is what is so great about it. It allows you to explore all aspects of art, and find what makes you happy.

One of our camp members, Grace, always comes up with her own characters. She draws both girls and boys, but says drawing girls is easier. Most of our camp members feel the same way. She has a very specific art style, but her characters always look different due to their eye shapes, hair style, and clothing. Another one of our members, Yeonju, always creates her own animal characters. She draws a lot of cats and dogs but she puts them in the cutest settings, and makes them human like. For example, she drew a picture of a cat drawing a picture, and then a picture of a dog having a picnic. If you really use your imagination, you are capable of creating anything. Show us some characters you have come up with!
