It's the 'question' that is critical. The questioner controls the stimulus here. You get what you ask for. In our society we tend to spend too much time on finding answers, solving problems and too little time in asking the right question.
Just finished this exercise with my twin 5 year olds, very cool to see their response to the task.
Question: Did you perhaps do a control study and ask another group of questions to "complete the painting" (w/ no 'correct answer') two separate times to see whether the repeat of the question inspired creativity? I doubt it did -- even I would tend to ask "right? Wonder what they're likely to want..." and would have striven for a traditional "point bearing" drawing.
I will certainly try this in my training sessions. Very creative thinking! Thank you for positing this video.
I'm going to try this in class! Great experiment!
Very interesting. Thank you.
I would love to try this as well! Will let you know!
rofl, one of the answers on the left was actually pretty creative; great video. I tried something like this with my little brother where we took turns drawing a picture til we decided to stop and we thought of some crazzzy stuff.
you have don't have to do some "experiment"; just sit down with a younger family member and start drawing something with him/her, taking turns drawing the same picture-just don't take it too seriously.
This is fantastic. A great example of how a simple, but significant shift in practice - the way instructions are given - creates space for divergent thinking. See the work of The Right Question Institute, www.rightquestion.org for how to teach students to ask their OWN questions.
So basically if we assume that there was no effect from giving them two of the same assignment, one can infer that they are trying to emphasize with what you think is correct. They are trying to enter your mind.
The mind has no limits. There is no correct answer in a creative learning process.
Thank you!
To Smoseley: Evidently you don't understand basic scientific investigation. There can only be 1 variable.
Thanks, Please let me know what are the results,
what can I benefit from this video?
thanks in advance :)

Did you try this with your students? If not I would love to do this assignment with them!
Thanks,

HI Marla, These are my third grade students work, You are welcome to give this assingment to your students, and I would love to see their works,
enjoy, Elad
What Sebastien Markley said.
"Received new instructions" implies they had already completed the first exercise. You corrupted your data set by assuming the 3rd-graders wouldn't infer from the elimination of the word "correct" that there is no incorrect answer on this new question, and from the elimination of a reference to "points" that there's no penalty. You essentially ASKED them to be more creative in the second set of paintings. A better study would involve two sets of children each given one of the two questions.
Nice story, but I doubt the experiment was very clean. Kids would have been influenced by seeing what other kids were doing. The very fact that the "no right answer" exercise came after the "right answer" exercise also must have had a huge effect. I would like to see the result of the same experiment properly controlled.
I would be thankful if you would repeat this exercise and send me the results. With your permition I'll publish these, and some other results on RUclips
