Abstract
Students enter creative projects with a mix of experience and preconceived notions of abilities and limitations. Especially in the arts, it seems that some students view their abilities as non-existent or have stories of past failure that have shaped their present identity. In starting with the concept of identity, we hope to bring students from a place of limitation to a place of understanding that they are a human being with capacities for creativity in the arts.
