Gabe Hulecki - Play-Doh and Creativity

To be quite honest, I knew we were in an art class but I had no idea our first exercise would involve Play-Doh. We all grew up with Play-Doh but never really realized how much imagination we had to use in order to construct our flower pots, red Radio Flyer wagons, or even our frying pans with pancakes in them! We quickly forget and take for granted the imaginative side we had as children due to the way school systems are run nowadays. One of my best friends grew up in Argentina and they dedicated 2-3 hours a day to "creativity time". Our culture is more strict and believes we need set rules with all these regulations in order to lead productive lives. I definitely appreciated and enjoyed our time spent in class constructing our objects with Play-Doh.
