"Don't make art. Just make something." --Miranda Aisling
STUDENT WORK
I have taught mosaic-making to families for years. Look at the beautiful creations they have made, many the first time out with mosaics!
Sometimes adults--never kids--say, "I'm not creative." I tell them they just haven't found a medium that frees them to do what comes naturally. Not everyone can draw people or objects that look realistic, and that's what most people mean when they say they aren't creative. But just about anyone has an opinion about what they like when it comes to colors, shapes, or patterns. And technically, mosaics can be as simple as gluing precut tiles onto a base. So just about everyone who tries mosaics happily discovers that they are indeed creative!
