In this article, the author talks about art in the classroom. He urges teachers to envision their classroom as a balance between inspiration and meditation, clutter and clarity, excitement and introspection. Remember that each student has a unique threshold for stimulation--what inspires one student to productive creativity may well trigger the next into unrestrained acting out. Teachers want students to approach an edge, a creative zone if you will, where motivation compels students to explore their world and express their understandings with passion and sensitivity. On this side of that zone is boredom; on the far side is chaos. It is along the safe side of that edge that teachers create.
