What is the purpose and value of Art Education in the 21st
Century? Foley makes the case the Art’s critical value is to develop learners
that think like Artists which means learners who are creative, curious, that
seek questions, develop ideas, and play. For that to happen society will need
to stop the pervasive, problematic and cliché messaging that implies that
creativity is somehow defined as artistic skill. This shift in perception will
give educators the courage to teach for creativity, by focusing on three
critical habits that artist employ, 1. Comfort with Ambiguity, 2. Idea
Generation, and 3. Transdisciplinary Research. This change can make way for
Centers for Creativity in our schools and museums where ideas are king and
curiosity reigns.
