Andreasen discusses how lack of exposure or experience during a "critical period" of childhood development can result in "lost or diminished capacities." She also notes that too much exposure to certain things during a critical phase of development can change how a generation of children perceive the world. What are two concerns does she have about how this over-exposure or process of exposure effects children's view of the world and their creativity?
1. Children are often over-exposed to television during a critical phase of their development. The content on TV is often full of nudity, sexuality, and violence. By the time they reach puberty they will be desensitized to violence and will be sexually primed at too young an age. 2. Another problem with this over-exposure is that it diminishes creativity. In order to develop creativity, children need to be an active participant in their world. In many of these activities, however, they are passive participants, diminishing creativity.
Andreasen recommends spending 30 minutes a day doing some specific exercises to enhance your own creativity. Describe two of these that appeal to you and that you would perhaps try for yourself?
1. Meditation: Meditating is the process of focusing your mind for a certain period of time to create openness and peace of mind. I think this would be a good way to alleviate anxiety and foster creativity. 2. Spend time imagining. I think this would be a fun way to foster creativity as well as think in a child-like way.
Andreasen also discusses ways to optimize the environment to help children maximize their creative potential? Describe three of these suggestions.
1. Turn off the TV: Like I stated before, watching TV is a passive process, and in order to foster creativity, children must be actively interacting with their environment. Turning off the TV is a simple way to force kids to be active. 2. Read Together: Read to children daily, preferrably 2 or 3 times per day. In order to foster creativity, make kids active participants in the reading process. Ask questions as you go to keep them participating. 3. Emphasize diversity: Make sure children are stimulated by a large variety of toys. Different toys teach different concepts: like color, shape, texture, letters, sounds, etc. This emphasizes development of all areas of creativity.

From your Chapter 4 reading ("Imaging," Root-Bernstein & Root-Bernstein, 1999) identify a specific example of someone, in a particular field who uses visual thinking or imaging in their work. From that example, what connection can you make to your own experiences?
Charles Steinmetz, the inventor of electrical generators, used imaging to solve a puzzle that his coworkers presented him with. He solved this puzzle without having to write down anything, using only his mind. I have had similar experiences. If I am good enough at the subject, I can picture an answer to a problem without having to write anything down. For example, I played violin from elementary school to my senior year of high school, so I could look at the notes on the page and be able to picture the melody or rhythm without having to think consciously of the note itself; it became second nature.
Some of the characteristics of children who draw as "Meaning Makers" include (mark all that apply).
Children begin to use emergent writing Because of their cognitive advances, children are able to write and tell more elaborate stories based on their drawings. The work can include drawing, scribbling, creating letter-forms, or creating random strings of letters, all used—sometimes even simultaneously—in the child's attempt to communicate an idea.

In the reading by Wilson & Wilson, "Why Children Draw" the authors explore Kreitlers' 4 realities (themes) that help us to understand children's drawings. Match the realities with their definition.
Common: The reality that refers to the familiar and everyday perceptions and experiences of objects (a drawing of a vase of flowers or other things in the environment) and events that humans share. Archeological: The reality of the self, explores questions like Who am I? What am I? What will I be? Normative: The basis of this reality is the exploration of roles and good and evil in the eyes of the child. You may see a conflict or resolution between a "right" side and a "wrong" side. This based on a reality of standards concerning the implicit and explicit rules by which an individual or a society behaves. Prophetic: The reality that portrays images of future selves & actions, inventions and created worlds.
Match the term with the correct definition
Contextualism: Art is a social communication system, looking at the aspects of the world in which it was created. Formalism: Study of art by analyzing the way objects are made and their purely visual aspects and emphasizes compositional elements.
One of the main points in the article, "You Can Hide, But You Can't Run: Interdisciplinary and Culturally Sensitive Approaches to Mask Making," by Ballengee-Morris & Taylor is that "Learning how to make connections and not see subjects or people in isolated, unrelated ways is a lifelong skill that is vitally important for our students to learn."

From your reading of Chapter 3, "Observing," from Root-Bernstein, R. S. & Root-Bernstein, M. M. (1999) Sparks of genius: The thirteen thinking tools of the world's most creative people. Mariner Books, Select and describe one of the examples they provide from a specific domain (art, biology, music, writing, medicine, etc.) and give an explanation of how you personally relate to this example.
In chapter 3 of Sparks of Genius by the Root-Bernsteins, they describe observation by using an example of novelist Daphne Du Maurier. Du Maurier remembers an instance when she found herself on 2 planes: one in the moment and one observing. She was in a conversation, and her body was there responding to the other woman, but her mind was "noting the changing moods of a woman dissatisfied with her life." I can relate to this experience, because often I will find myself as a third-party observer to my own conversations. I like observing people, finding small details I didn't notice before; so often I will look at others with scrutiny during our conversations.
In "Schooling the Imagination," (Chapter 2) the Root-Bernsteins talk about the dichotomy between academic "illusions" and "reality" and the need in education to unite the two. Describe how the design of this class attempts to connect art education "illusions" and "reality" for students in this course.
In lecture we discuss the concepts of that week: the concept of play and how it relates to development, for example. Instead of leaving it at that, we also have studio, where we put it into action. We play tag the art game, for example, to really understand personally how play is connected to art, because we are experiencing it.

Davis mentions specific suggestions for creating an environment that supports creativity development and cites some conditions that inhibit creativity. Identify and give one example for each type of environment (support and nonsupport).

For example, if the teacher stresses that only one answer is correct, then the students won't feel the need to generate ideas.

According to Andreasen (2005) in "Building a Better Brain," the human brain is responsive, adaptive and eternally changing. We are literally remaking our brains every second of our lives in response to the demands and pressure of our environment. It is the ability to retain and store specific memories. What is the term neuroscientists use for this concept?
plasticity
When a child experiments with self-images and self-possibilities but substitutes another image (i.e., an animal or object) for themselves this is called a
surrogate self
The Bouba Kiki Effect is a study that investigated
synesthesia
