In getting to know the nature of children's creative expression, we talk ever less about teaching creativity and more about the ways of stimulating, and the conditions that ought to be provided for creativity to be manifested. The aim of this work is to determine the difference in creative abilities of children with mild intellectual disability (MID) before and after visual prompting in the process of creating an art drawing. Creativity was assessed on a sample of 69 subjects, using the Test for creative thinking measured by drawing, and a drawing on the topic of "Peculiar flower", designed specifically for the purpose of this research. After a detailed explanation, the children engaged in working on a drawing on the given topic, with no previous encouragement. After some time the children were prompted using various examples from their visual surroundings, after which they were told to make a drawing and be as creative as possible. Comparing the results obtained before and after prompting, we point out the importance of visual incentive for the expression of children's creativity on all aspects of the flower drawing (color, shape, proportion and spatial distribution), as well as on certain aspects of Urban-Jellen test (completion, humor, material manipulation and non-stereotypical use of elements). Based on the results obtained in this research, we stress the importance of forming sensibility towards characteristics of objects and traits of the environment that can be perceived by eyesight, which would account for a good postulation for encouraging creative expression in the visual domain.

The aim of this study was to test the phytotoxicity and mode of action of bisphenol A (BPA) on Allium cepa using a multibiomarker approach. A. cepa roots were exposed to BPA in concentration range 0–50 mg L−1 for 3 days. BPA even in the lowest applied concentration (1 mg L−1) reduced root length, root fresh weight, and mitotic index. Additionally, the lowest BPA concentration (1 mg L−1) decreased the level of gibberellic acid (GA3) in root cells. BPA at concentration 5 mg L−1 increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that was followed by increase in oxidative damage to cells’ lipids and proteins and activity of enzyme superoxide dismutase. BPA in higher concentrations (25 and 50 mg L−1) induced genome damage detected as an increase in micronucleus (MNs) and nuclear buds (NBUDs). BPA at >25 mg L−1 induced synthesis of phytochemicals. Results of this study using multibiomarker approach indicate that BPA is phytotoxic to A. cepa roots and has shown genotoxic potential to plants, thus its presence in the environment should be monitored.
