Creativity

Ken Robinson, in a talk about creativity and school raised and interesting point of view about the 2 topics and the relation there is between this two concepts, he says that school kills creativity, the principal reason he give is because traditional education is center on traditional areas like math and language so the all word is around this. The objective of the education is prepare to someone to enter to the university, but when people think in the most important and necessary careers almost everyone think in this two areas. In other aspect, creativity is seen like something wrong, and everybody is afraid to be wrong so the formal institutions of education, like schools doesn’t give too much importance to art, and doesn’t focus in develop this area.

I think that this point of view is very pertinent. If we just think in the subjects of school, math, language and science has more time in the schedule. The education must point at the complete and integral development of a person, and then the student will be able to choose an activity, so these three things (Math, language and art) must have the same kind of importance. The intelligence need to be seen as a way to solve problems and also to display innovation and creativity, Like Ken says intelligence is diverse and dynamic
In the example of the girl who like to dance is very clear the importance of other areas according to each person. If someone will tell her to calm down, she wouldn’t develop her talent and creativity with dance.
