Yes, You Can Teach and Assess Creativity! A recent blog by Grant Wiggins affirmed what I have long believed about creativity: it is a 21st-century skill we can teach and assess. Creativity fosters deeper learning, builds confidence and creates a student ready for college and career. However, many teachers don't know how to implement the teaching and assessment of creativity in their classrooms. While we may have the tools to teach and assess content, creativity is another matter, especially if we want to be intentional about teaching it as a 21st-century skill. Quality Indicators If you and your students don't unpack and understand what creativity looks like, then teaching and assessing it will be very difficult. Synthesize ideas in original and surprising ways.Ask new questions to build upon an idea.Brainstorm multiple ideas and solutions to problems.Communicate ideas in new and innovative ways. Now, these are just some of the quality indicators you might create or use. Activities Targeted to Quality Indicators

A Favorite Book – “The Art Spirit” by Robert Henri So, in early June, my two younger kids and I loaded up the truck and drove from Idaho to St. Louis, Missouri to watch their big brother graduate from college. It was the first time I had ever driven that far without another adult driver in the car with me. At that time I had just read the inspirational book, “The Art Spirit,” by Henri. Robert Henri 1873-1929, is one of America’s greatest artists and teachers. The book is a compiling of students’ notes and fragments of his teachings. Here are a few of my favorite passages from The Art Spirit: “There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Enjoy.

Collection Of Very Rare Optical Illusion To Hypnotize You Home » Odd Stuff » Collection Of Very Rare Optical Illusion To Hypnotize You Illusions are always mind freaking. An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, colour, size, position, tilt, movement), and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences.
