Creative people invent, imagine, problem-solve, create, and communicate in fresh, new ways. Every business requires creative thinkers in the form of scientists, engineers, medical researchers, technology innovators, business entrepreneurs, artists, performers, writers and illustrators, designers, inventors, educators and parents. Those with the ability to "think outside of the box" will lead the future and make special things happen. Encourage children to realise that art and design is all around us; in the homes we live in, the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, the books we read and even the movies we watch. Introduce art vocabulary to children. Look for lines, shapes/forms, colours, textures, patterns, repetition, and balance. Share opinions and what personal preferences are based on. Urge children to consider ways they could change the design of man-made items.
