Description

The course introduces students to a range of explanations of creativity drawn from the fields of philosophy, psychology, sociology and art and design education. Student will explore how creativity is applied in art, design and education practice. Investigative topics will include the creative subject, genius and creative personality; the creative process, problem solving and divergent thinking; and the product as an outcome of performance valued by its recognition within a field of practice. Through a combination of lectures, seminars, and workshops student will consider how theories of creativity inform art and design teachers' beliefs and practices affecting their views on art and design, teaching, students, the artefacts produced, assessment, the HSC examination and ARTEXPRESS.
