My lessons dabble in math, science, social studies, character building, and most of all creativity. It is common for people to feel that art and creativity go hand-in-hand. Creative and Critical Thinking Skills Like the term “art”, the true definition of what creativity is has been disputed for many years; however, there exists a consensus that creativity is the generation of new, useful, and original ideas.
