Teaching Creativity

From Brian Cohen in the Huffington Post.


"Genius is the error in the system." -- Paul Klee


When a student asks me, an art teacher, how to do something, I often don't answer. It's not that I'm especially possessive of my acquired knowledge; to the contrary, I don't think knowledge belongs to anyone; it should be shared, or better yet, discovered.

Can creativity be taught?

"Can people learn or be taught to be more creative? Creativity is valued in many areas of human activity, including scientific discovery, technological invention, artistic imagination, and social innovation. I know of no studies that show that creativity is teachable, but history provides some interesting suggestions about the habits of highly creative scientists." says Paul Thagard Professor of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo.
