List down briefly Maria Montessori's views about creativity in a Montessori environment.
- Beauty is not a Divine inspiration. It is found in nature and provides the greatest source for stimulating
the child towards creativity.
- The child should be surrounded by real objects and famous art work in the art area
- The child's art work should not be hanged for display or competition
- Creativity is directly linked with problem solving skills.
- Creativity encompasses all areas of development (intellectual, artistic, emotional, physical, cognitive)
- Fantasy should not be the part of Montessori environment.
- Strong imagination is developed through child's first hand experience of the world in his/her surroundings.
How is Piaget's theory of assimilation and accommodation (cognitive development) is related to creativity?
Assimilation is the process of receiving information from the world and Accommodation is the internal process of accommodating/adjusting the information for necessary adaptation. The child in a the Montessori prepared environment absorbs (assimilates) literal, practical and linguistic data and is given freedom and has been provided with a huge variety of material to apply (accommodate) it in his/her own unique way particularly in the art area.
