creative process, maybe you'll devote your life to art.

of the craft man. A craft is an activity such as weaving, craving, or pottery that
involves making things skillfully by hand, often in s traditional way.

are an approach to teaching and learning that utilizes creativity, imagination, and
artistic exploration to support student outcomes.
Learning in and through the arts in school encourages positive risk-taking, supports
problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, promotes sharing ideas, and enlivens the
imagination.
Art gives us the ability to express ourselves. Through that expression, we
communicate by drawing on our own unique emotions, thoughts and experiences.
When you see and study another's art, you're seeing the world through their eyes.
When you create, you're letting the world see through yours.
