Description: This course introduces contemporary ideas and strategies exploring creative thinking informed by the visual arts. Students are exposed to the interconnectedness of creative and critical thinking and develop strategies for thinking that embrace the habits of creativity, dispelling the myth that people are born creative or uncreative. Using the visual arts as an entry point for the development of creative and critical-thinking skills, students learn how to approach problems in novel ways.
