Every child is an artist?

What are we to make of the powerful assertions here in the HATCH blog? Is every child really an artist – or are we over-using the idea of Art? How practical are the ethos-based key words here of trust, choice and environment?

While wanting to raise the issues as questions, because I think these are fundamentally more about personal philosophy than a quick fix for success, I would hurriedly add  that this is a very good way for trainee teachers to view their artistic/creative curriculum, especially in the light of latest thunderings (also here and here) about the death of the creative curriculum in  UK after the new curriculum proposals were published amid criticisms that the proposals were “flawed” and “prescriptive.”
