We started out with this empowering and inspirational book "Beautiful Oops!". When you THINK you have made a mistake (and what kid or grown-up hasn't) Think of it as an opportunity to make something beautiful. "A life lesson that all parents want their children to learn: It's OK to make a mistake. In fact, hooray for mistakes! A mistake is an adventure in creativity, a portal of discovery. A spill doesn't ruin a drawing,not when it becomes the shape of a goofy animal. And an accidental tear in your paper? Don't be upset about it when you can turn it into the roaring mouth of an alligator."
Every student received a paper with a tear, smudge, coffee spill, paint drip and many other "mistakes" I prepared for them before class. They were challenged to turn those mistakes into an artwork. I was amazed by their creativity and problem solving skills. Just look at their creative solutions:
