Do schools REALLY kill creativity?

Not in the arts!


I wanted to show HOW creativity was being taught, further emphasize the importance of the arts, while at the same time answer my own question of what WAS creativity

Paint the World with Light


This was just getting started during CAEA, Los Angeles. What we noticed was that we were doing the same thing on basically opposites sides of the world. This commonality is what guides our projects

Inviting students to.... use light painting to suggest a story or reveal something magical about the places that they live.



We were certainly building the plane as we flew it. And it was gaining momentum... When it hit the NPR photo blog it was that phone book moment from The Jerk!


From there, we produced the first Student Creative book for print. With all proceeds benefiting the Jacaranda Foundation, a school for children of the AIDS epidemic in Malawi.


So, continuing with our common curriculum...We went from SLOW shutter speeds to FAST based on Phillipe Halsmann’s Jumpology

Inviting students to.... to use high speed photography to capture an instance of magical realism.



During the production of this book, Blurb made the print version downloadable for the iPad....

Now the ball is getting rolling! We opened it up to all media and also encountered the conversation of Creative Commons vs. 100% student created.

Inviting students to.... learn about Surrealism by creating a self portrait that contains clues about their life, dreams, culture, and community using operational techniques for transformation.


For this, David put together a nice presentation on Operational Techniques. We’re also starting to see more resource sharing from participants (Pintrest, etc)!

Now we’re looking at THREE books for print and the iPad with over 20 schools from the US, Asia, the UK, and South America



S t u d e n t c r e a t i v e . o r g


We now have a new website to support this year’s project, MyThology! We actually tried several other sites encouraging interaction between schools, but are seeing that ArtEd2.0 and the AEE are two sites where teachers live to converse



Inviting students to.... investigate a modern interpretation of classical and cultural myths.


For this, David put together a nice presentation on Operational Techniques. We’re also starting to see more resource sharing from participants (Pintrest, etc)!

• Retell a classic myth that explains something about the modern world.

• Create a work of art about a mythical creature that lives in their community.

• Create a work of art about a modern god.


All media will be considered from traditional media, through digital arts, and into animation and video.Since we’ve gone from PRINT > CROSS MEDIA, we can include MORE s t u d e n t c r e a t i v i t y!


Desert funky > Cahuilla Culture is how my students may approach it

Please consider joining us on...
