Lisa Murphy on Play Episode 3

Join us as we discuss chapter 10 of Lisa Murphy on Play: The Foundation of Children's Learning by Lisa Murphy. This chapter is called "Make Time Each Day to Create," and it's all about art and creativity. We discuss how art projects have essentially become a receipt for childcare, showing parents what their children accomplished each day. But what about kids who are creative in ways that aren't considered art? What about kids who love to build with blocks? Or make mud pies? When we force children to make cookie cutter reproductions of the craft of the day, is that really art? So we have to ask ourselves, who is the art for? If it's not for the children, then don't do it. We go through Lisa's tips for enhancing creativity and her list of creativity killers. This is a great episode that will really get you thinking about the way you approach art and creativity with the children you work with.
