Episode 95: Infusing Creative Thinking Skills into the Art Room

There are two perspectives on creativity. Through the lens of art, it speaks to expressing yourself in meaningful ways. However, there is also a scientific side of creativity that focuses on improvement. Integrating these two perspectives is what The Creativity Department and Dr. Cyndi Burnett, Director of Possibilities for Creativity and Education, discuss in this episode! Listen in as they explore everything from the relationship between creativity and the arts, to modeling creative behaviors to students and how creative thinking in the arts transfers to other disciplines. Learn what a deliberate approach to creativity looks like and how that scientific perspective parallels the artist’s process of creativity.
