Art class helps in linking creativity and invention

By Norman Lacey | 00:01 UTC+8 November 28, 2017 | Print Edition

THE value of art in schools is only too evident, and is one of the few subjects where 21st century thinking is allowed to occur in the classroom, with invention and creativity linked to a task. Art develops minds that can solve a challenging problem, put together a sequence of ideas to form a solution, even creating real links between subjects, with the importance of mathematics and sciences in art, architecture, engineering and design, linking together.

Art is all around us, so are numbers, so is science, and so are words. Often it is through art, and creative manipulation of these subjects that students are drawn into the future, involving them in thinking and doing, making something that is useful, great to look at or just a great process to find out how, what and why.
