We are living in a world of objects which we can see
and otherwise interact with. That is the visual world,
so we spend physical and emotional energy to see. Most of
people receive 80% or higher of our information visually
and communicate with others with images or by their manipulation.
Visual communication is the center of our daily life.
Many parts of our communication are inly attained
through symbolic means. Words, signs, and all kinds of
symbols are used. To maintain and develop our emotional
and creative impulses, we use visual and symbolic expressions.

As shown in Picture 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3, many traces of
the leaves that caterpillars gnawed are symbolized on
colored paper squares. And then, these papers are collectively
folded on another colored paper square. With this image,
children presented their feelings in realistic and detailed
expression and paid attention to a subject based on concentrated
imagination. Imagination is one of the strongest powers
of human beings.
There is a deep relationship between images and imagination.
Imagination exists in the spirit, while images is realistic
and visual. But images are often referred as ¡®creatures
of imagination.¡¯ That means that visual images are strongly
connected to the spiritual images. The power of imagination
draws an image on the mind when it is hard to express,
even if the image has no relationship with experiences.
There is no ¡®correct answer¡¯ for imagination, so it is
named as ¡®a creative¡¯ field. The personal interpretation
and applications of imagination are various, to the point
of being virtually unlimited. With this direct experience,
children showed virtually unlimited imagination abilities,
and it was found that there is a relation between imagination
and the ability to look for new things out of breach,
such as the stereotype of ideas and beliefs.
The word, ¡®creative¡¯ is used when a solution is presented
in a very unique, special, or imaginative way. Creativity
is a part of our ¡®thinking¡¯ skills. But creativeness is
regarded as a more special and important ability in comparison
with our other abilities of thinking, because creativeness
is made up of unique characteristics such as originality,
flexibility, openness, and elaborateness. The most fundamental
components of creativeness are ¡®originality¡¯ and ¡®openness.¡¯
Originality is the ability to think and make a special
and new shape or patterns of a creature. It was shown
in this study that children were developing this ability
with ¡®the methodology of eaten traces¡¯ in the series of
textbooks. |
