CREATE (Creativity Research in Education AT Exeter) Research Group Seminar with Malcolm Ross
Malcolm Ross will be presenting a seminar entitled Art's Work
Malcolm will be up-dating the Exeter CREATE group on his model of creativity in the arts, first developed in his book Cultivating the Arts in Education and Therapy (Routledge, 2011). Since he began researching arts education in the 1960s Malcolm has concentrated on developing a theoretical pedagogy based on practice: his own and that of teachers of the creative arts in schools and colleges. His Syncretic Model brings together two traditions of creativity: one western and the other Chinese. His latest thinking sharpens the focus on the creative work of the artist, including the child as artist. The work art does takes place in the realm of knowing rather than understanding, of revelation rather than demonstration, of disclosure rather than origination. Creativity becomes a feature of the transcendent dimension of Being.
