I have begun to see that, just because a child sits in a fine arts class, does not mean that child is going to become creative. What I can hope for though is that some manner of freeing the mind, new ideas, brainstorming techniques, and self-fulfillment will be realized, IF the right lessons are presented with developmental sequencing that makes "sense" to the student.
