Courtney Reynolds- Playdoh and Creativity

The article on creativity suggests that students our age have a much more difficult of a time connecting to our "creative side," which was illustrated in our "bus" exercise earlier in class on Tuesday. Once that Playdoh was in our hands however, all of that seemed to change; we came back a place where we could think and create and it was fun! Class on Tuesday demonstrated how we all have the capacity of meeting challenges creatively if our creativity is nurtured; our creativity seemed to hide somewhere until we were given a task that forced it out of the depths of our brain. I think more classes should put an emphasis on activities that stimulate the creativity in students' minds even in ways that seem juvenile, like Playdoh :).
