Promote creativity in children
through illustration.
The problem that I think exist is that children are not too stimulated with their creativity. Creativity is the key to problem solving no matter which field they are going into in the future.
As a graphic designer student I feel that it is important to encourage and develop creativity in children as most of the children are stuck with the mobile gadget now which doesn’t really help much in creating possibility in problem solving because they were taught to make choices instead of creating one.
My idea was to create a book for young children to stimulate their creativity.

Research on Creativity in Young Children.
Researchers say they are finding exactly that in a 2010 study of about 300,000 creativity tests going back to the 1970s, Kyung Hee Kim, a creativity researcher at the College of William and Mary, found creativity has decreased among American children in recent years. Since 1990, children have become less able to produce unique and unusual idea. They are also less humorous, less imaginative and less able to elaborate ideas, Kim said.
-To solve a problem creatively, children need to be able to see a variety of perspectives and to generate several solutions
-Leaving realities behind; to let the imaginations run wild, one must not limit a child to think realistically but to let the child think as creatively as they want.
-Scribbling is one of the way children express themselves before writing. Objects, people will usually be a child first attempt with a wide variety of colours.
-Using and exploring different type of drawing material

Book of Creativity
What do I mean by book of creativity is a story book, where there will be story telling and children are required to draw and guide the characters through the story.
For example : There is a phone that need to cross the river, what should be added to a phone to cross the river.
This could stimulate the creativity and thoughts in children as they might have different solution for this problem, some might draw wings for it and some might draw a boat and etc.
It will be a book that let young children’s imagination run wild with illustration instead of teaching them what to do.

An example of how the image will be like in the book.
Questions will be ask to the children throughout this book to stimulate one's creativity.
Children want their art to look like the object they are looking at. Failing in this attempt can be discouraging, Children need to be taught that art is not limited to copying what they see. Adults can show children other styles of art (such as impressionistic or cubist art) to help them see that the free expression of ideas and emotions is more important than creating a mirror image.
