Art is a way that people can express feelings or ideas to other people visually. Creativity is when a person seeks to think outside of the box.

I think art in school can help us expand our way of thinking, instead of concrete learning.

Art is a way to create something you are proud of by using mostly imagination and a little bit of skill. Creativity is when you go against the normal way of doing things to create something you are proud of.

Self-direction to me means independence in my own work, not having a strict guidline to follow leaving opportunities for me to be creative.

Honestly, just giving directions and letting me go at it works for me.

Yes, i'm comfortable with it. I think it's good to let your mind have many interpretations of one piece.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the value of art in school is to help students become comfortable using their imagination and to become confident in the things they put effort into.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, self-direction means allowing someone to be creative and work on their own time as long as it looks good and is completed on time. I would like to see autonomy in this class by getting the chance to work on my project and if I get tired of working on it, allowing me to take a break for a minute.

Art is a form of expression and communication through something you have created. Creativity is thinking for yourself, outside the box.

I guess that in some situations ambiguity can be okay, but for the most part, I am not comfortable with it because I would rather something be clear and concise.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it helps give students freedom to express themselves, and focus on creativity rather than constant instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-direction to me means having the independence to make decisions without worrying about other rules. I'd like instructions in the class to be simple and not overbearing.

# data[].attributes.body
I am comfortable with it. One of my favorite things about art is it's open to interpretation.

# data[].attributes.body
Art is a visual product or practice used to express emotions and creativity. Creativity is the ability to think uniquely or differently in order to make unique art and showcase yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
Art in school allows students to express their emotions and creativity towards a product that ties to themselves instead of a simple school project. It may allows students time to escape from the real-world and into their own imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-direction is the freedom to pick a path I want to take and allows me to create without worrying if I'm breaking a rule.
I would like to have the ability to argue for points if I felt like I truly deserve more.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say, overall, that I am not comfortable with ambiguity as I would like to have clear learning material and exact answers to truly have the key to success. However, the real world isn't just black and white (especially art) and I am realizing that so I am becoming more comfortable with ambiguity.

# data[].attributes.body
Art is a form of expression. It is very subjective and uses imagination combined with surroundings to create something that communicates your message. Creativity is being able to come up with your own ideas by thinking outside the box, sometimes doing things in unconventional ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Art allows students to express themselves. There are less restrictions, and students can experiment and be creative. It also encourages them to think in new ways and find new perspectives from which they can view the world, which can help in their other classes and in daily life.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, self-direction means having the independence to go where I want with my work. I would like to see autonomy through less strict prompts that inspire me but also allow for freedom of expression.

# data[].attributes.body
I am comfortable with ambiguity, especially in art. It allows for more freedom to express yourself, and I like being able to interpret art in a way that I can relate to. If I am the one making the art, it could mean one thing to me, but someone else could get a different meaning from it. Art can be whatever you make it.

Art is a way to deeply express yourself; your thoughts, opinions, ideas, beliefs, without actually having to speak. Creativity is thinking in a new way, not the normal systematic way of thinking.

Students go to school and are taught to do thinks in very specific ways, they are taught black and white concepts and are taught to stick to them. Art is the complete opposite, it is an escape for many. Art allows people to do whatever comes naturally and whatever feels right rather than what other people have told them to be right, it gives them the freedom to express themselves.

self-direction: independence; allows creativity and expression at its fullest. I would like the instructions for assignments to be open-ended and flexible while also being enough to inspire me and get me going on a project.

yes, i love when things are interpreted by several people. The unique ways people see things inspire me and i thinks its cool to see what different things mean to different people.

I think art is important in school because it gives students the opportunity to let everything out. For me art is a release of stress and a way to show how i'm feeling. It can take you away from all the business of other classes and just be involved with your imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
Art isn't just a way to show your own inner feelings, but express messages and meanings. It can also just be pure mindlessness material on paper. creativity is our own minds coming up with ideas that can be shown through many different types of art such as writing, drawing, painting, music, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
To me self direction just means not copy and paste. It's a individual thought process in which each person can come up with their own idea to form around a wholistic prompt. So even though we all have the same inner meaning, we can express through compleatly different ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Im sort of in between. On one side i think some things are better left for each persons individual assessment, while others it can be difficult to be left in the dark. I enjoy knowing what things mean and sometimes having a clear idea of what is in front of me can make veiwing art or other materials much more comfortable.

Art is a way to express emotions using different types of media.  It allows individuals to share their own experience with how they interact with everyone and everything else.

# data[].attributes.body
It give students an opportunity to use their creative process to solve problems. It strengthens original ways to accomplish things.

# data[].attributes.body
Self direction to me is being able to choose my own path on how to do my own work. It is letting me choose what I think is important and working on it at my own pace. I would the freedom to create my own works of art.

# data[].attributes.body
I am fine with a bit of it but not an overwhelming amount. Everything in life is not black and white but life with no boundaries would be difficult. Multiple ways to interpret things to do or how to act can be both freeing and confusing.

# data[].attributes.body
I’d consider myself comfortable with ambiguity. Life isn’t clear cut with one definition. There are always different paths, with no exactly right answer. The same can be said for art.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, art, which doesn’t always encompass pencil to paper, is an expression of feelings, ideas, and experiences. Creativity is the freedom in which an individual is able to express these feelings, ideas, and experiences through painting, sketching, music, theatre, etc. Creativity is only limited by the creator’s ability to think outside the box and take risks.

# data[].attributes.body
Art is valuable in school as it teaches students to think outside of the box. There isn’t one clear cut way of doing things, which can be said for almost any subject in school, however, things are not taught this way. Art can teach you to look at a bigger picture, or see things in different, more simple or complex ways. It teaches these thinking and comprehension skills that can’t be learned through the maths and sciences.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, self direction means the freedom to create something true to myself is in my hands. For Autonomy in your class, I think giving broad or semi-vague prompts for assignments and letting us create what speaks to us from the prompt could be a good way to allow Autonomy.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I think art is a way to express and enjoy the way you think. Its a research project in the making.

# data[].attributes.body
To me art in schools is a way to show your talent. We use it to learn and grow in our art. Its a good way to express yourself and it helps teach you how to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
What I think it means to me is allowing people to let their ideas fly as high as they can. being able to go off the basic directions and make it my own is the best for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I am very comfortable with it because I feel like it gives me freedom to chose my work and makes it my own. If another person doesn't agree with me on this random art piece that is okay.

# data[].attributes.body
Art is loose definition and can be anything with intent behind it. Creativity is thinking and processing things in a different way then what is usually expected.

# data[].attributes.body
To help fuel the minds of a young generation to think outside the box later in life and possibly make art themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Self direction is just having individual guide themselves.

The way i’d like to see it implemented is give students an idea or concept that they have to represent. Basically a toolbox that they can utilize.

# data[].attributes.body
I am both uncomfortable and comfortable with ambiguity. If a painting has no name then that feels like a cognitive void but in a good way.

# data[].attributes.body
Art is an expression of self and communication of feelings. Creativity is the utilization of imagination to create something.

# data[].attributes.body
I think art is valuable is school because it breaks up the concrete schedule we are put through all day by letting us work abstractly.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, self-direction is working primarily by myself with the exception of asking questions when/if I need to. Learning while also remaining independant for the most part.

I would like to see independancy in work while leaving wiggle room to remain flexible with grading/assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah I love when people interpret things differently from me, I love to get to know others' perspectives. However, if feedback on a piece is ambiguous, I would not be comfortable with that, I would prefer to be straightforward.
