Description:

Creative energy, application and results are prized and sought in our culture, yet are rarely understood clearly or analyzed systematically. In this course, students will explore various creativity concepts and models, including early instructional and educational, bio-psychological and socio / community-based theories. We will analyze creativity conditions in the expressive domains of art, architecture, music, literature, science, and invention. We will profile identifiable creators such as Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mozart, Virginia Woolf and Einstein, along with contemporary geniuses such as novelist Toni Morrison, activist Barry Commoner, sculptor Nina Holton, playwright Arthur Miller, and astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, and review their creativity over successive life stages. As a result, students will gain creative insight and develop strategies to incorporate creativity in their academic, occupational, and personal lives. Competence: aid, A2A, A2D, A3A, A5, FX.
