Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams
The creative cycle is a dynamic, ongoing process of sensing, planning, creating and evaluating art, and one in which all the
senses can be involved.
MYP arts places an emphasis on all phases of this cycle, not just the creating phase.
(Based on the MYP Arts syllabus)
