That's how people first start to think out of the box. Creativity has to first and foremost come back into the fold, and become part of our education program. Also, on computers, kids can learn how to draw or how to paint, like getting art instruction they would get from a teacher. But to practice, they need to move outside of the computer. It should not be done with a mouse or stylus, at least not right away.
Creativity has to be how the hand and the brain function in choosing, on the paper or canvas.
When people do everything on the computer, they meet the art halfway, just clicking and choosing something that's already there. They forget to be the creator. You've been working with students in the New York City schools for around a year now. I've worked with every age group, from ages 3 to 17. I wanted them to be very relaxed and to draw something that they could almost throw in the garbage.
