Exploring the creative process through the point of view of kids.
My goal in this project is to learn more about how kids perceive information and learn. I want to create an activity for kids to be a part of where they can learn more about their clothing and how its made because I personally think this process is very interesting and it was something as a child I wanted to learn about, I feel like costumes and clothing choices are very important for how kids express themselves, so I want an activity where they can make their dream outfit.
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Dream it.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Build it.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
Why Is Creating Important For Kids?
“There are four main areas of development: motor (physical), language and communication, social and emotional, and cognitive. Brain development is part of cognitive development. Cognitive development describes how a child’s intellect grows, and includes thinking, learning, and problem-solving skills. These skills affect all other areas of development.”(“Help Me Grow MN.” Help Me Grow MN, helpmegrowmn.org/HMG/HelpfulRes/Articles/HowEncourageBrainDev/index.html.)
Social- family, peers
Language communication-interview + sharing, small group art activities
Motor Skills- working on hand-eye coordination with materials and the fine motor skills needed for drawing
