Art and creativity at school «Innovation and creativity in education»

Abstract

It is commonly accepted that using any kind of art in the classroom enhances students' attitudes toward the material and the educational experience as well as their creative abilities, critical thinking skills, and capacity for creative learning. Children who participate in the creative process are better able to understand the world around them via the use of shape, form, space, and movement. Additionally, it inspires creativity and fosters the thrill of unrestricted expression while stimulating one's intellect, psychology, and imagination. It removes the fear of rejection, and promotes involvement, collaboration and sociability. The purpose of this work is to investigate what creativity is, how it connects to art, and to emphasize the value of fostering it in the classroom. When a person thinks outside the box, approaches new areas, and produces novel, exciting outcomes, that person is being creative. The person succeeds in overcoming the habits of habit, absolute logic, and societal pressures, as well as the fear of error and the insecurity of lack of aptitude. Divergent thinking suggests a mind that is active and capable of handling challenges. Therefore, the presence of creative people in contemporary cultures is seen as crucial and vital given the present economic, social, and political circumstances.
