    I work very hard at developing creativity in my students,too. One of the
    first things I do in Art I is an exercise which combines the concrete and the
    abstract. I teach them how to make cut paper letters from squares and
    rectangles of colored paper. Have them cut out their names- saving every
    scrap. They then glue the letters onto the back of their sketchbooks( talk
    about spacing, readability,etc.)and then arrange the scraps into a "visually
    pleasing" design which enhances their name design. They may cut the scraps
    into smaller pieces but may not add any other pieces. Sometimes we use more
    than one color, or introduce color schemes, etc.
