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.

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. ]]> 2022-01-08 07:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elvaughn1/pc8qycr477yh0v6r/wish/1981485217 https://padlet.com/elvaughn1/pc8qycr477yh0v6r/wish/1981487917 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.
