When I joined this team, I thought we would explore the creative aspects of creating art and, of course, crafts. When I teach silversmithing classes, I try to emphasize the concept of thinking outside of the proverbial Box. I tell my students if they can visualize the form, then they can create it, if they have the skill sets. In elementary school, most teachers emphasize coloring inside of the lines or forms boundaries. Does staying inside of the lines encourage or promote creativity or new ideas? It seems the most recent attempts on this Creative Thinkers board is to play a variety of word games. If this is promoting creativity in your art or craft, please tell us how this is happening and what your process is. Personally, I am not interested in playing word games on this team. I think we can do better than this.
