My Creativity Portrait
Students plan and create a creativity portrait to showcase how they are creative. Student portraits can be in the form of a presentation, piece of artwork, an idea, etc. This project is your class’s opportunity to start broadening their perceptions of creativity and encouraging creative attitudes and behaviors. Give students time to brainstorm, plan, create and showcase this portrait. Alongside their creativity portrait, students complete a creator’s statement. The creator’s statement encourages students to reflect on their work and process.
