D’Amico, V. (1953). Creative teaching in art. Scranton, PA: International Textbook company. Encouraging Creativity Objective: Stimulate spontaneity & originality D'Amico believed painting to be "one of the best media for stimulating creative response" and one that "encourages spontaneity and originality" (p. 27). The child as painter D’Amico (1953) felt “the child’s experience should include as many painting media as possible," and tempera and water color to be the most successful media to use with 8-11 year olds (p. 31). Effective teaching strategies:
