Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Description:

This course is an exploration of creativity and what it means to be creative. There will be opportunities to discover and develop our own creativity and to design and complete creative projects/products. Philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of creativity will be considered as well as more practical components of the creative process. We will investigate current research, literature, and approaches to creativity. Questions we will ponder include: What is creativity? What does it mean to be creative? Are there specific skills related to creativity that can be developed? If so, how might we develop and incorporate these skills/attributes into our learning and our lives? What is the importance of play? What is the power of failure? This course is highly experiential in nature and is geared toward the specific individuals who are enrolled. (WCore: WCFAH)
