Quick notes on Ken Robinson's TED creativity ted talks.
Creativity - his definition - the process of having original ideas that have value.
3 types of intelligence: Diverse, Dynamic, Distinct.
Diverse - acquired kinaesthetically, visually, aurally, abstract movement. Gather data anyway you want. It does not have to come solely via reading and writing.
Dynamic - Interactive, via different, distinct ways of seeing. Women have a thicker, better, bit of the brain for multi-tasking.
Distinct - how to discover talent.
Arts education is better for the aesthetic experience. Requires senses operating at peak in the current moment. The excitement of now. Anaesthetic - shuts off senses - ritalin! We need to wake up to what is inside.
Modern education is about conformity, standardisation, and curriculum - we need to change the paradigm. Divergent thinking - i.e. arts education - is an essential capacity for creativity. Lots of capacity for answers, different ways to interpret a question. Multiple answers, not one.
