Creativity and the Arts - ECH454
This unit enables students to explore creativity and its role in teaching, learning, innovation and art making for both adults and children. Students engage in an exploration of theory and research which relate to definitions of creativity and imagination. In the unit, students investigate the creativity of young children and the role of creativity in their learning, exploring cognitive, affective and imaginative aspects of creativity through forms of art relevant to early childhood. Students also explore their own creativity through practical experiences in a variety of art form areas and through independent work towards an original major creative project.
