Student’s
creativity is being killed within schools worldwide. Most people believe that certain aspects
within in teachers, schools, and standardized curriculums are killing the creativity
for students. In this generation, schools are not producing enough creative people
for society. Instead, schools are making students feel like a high degree with
a well-paying job is success for a person. It’s more important for an
individual to be recognized as different with unique creative skills, then to
be repeated robots that follow each other in similar ways. Creativity is viewed
as having necessary skills with attitudes and minds that are essential for
future success, with a passion that’s truly within a person’s heart to do. Society is killing the schools ability to encourage
future creativity for a student. On the other hand, other people believe
schools have nothing to do with creativity levels within individual students. Schools
have been taught on the 19 century curriculum that’s gives nothing but success
for students. People believe that students are not losing focus from narrow standardized
assignments. Creativity shouldn’t be expressed within schools, it should be left
for an individual to bring out creativeness themselves. Discovering talents,
and letting minds go beyond imagination is unnecessary to have students well
successful in life. A creative person has to let it come naturally with
experiences they have seen, it can’t be expressed or taught in schools by teachers,
it’s something students just have to let come naturally.
In
my first picture relating to creativity in schools, would be a setting with
colored words, and creative props lying around the picture. The picture is
painted on to a white canvas, propped along the brown varnish. The words across
the top painted in blue saying “Schools kill creativity.” Under that would be Ken
Robinson in green lettering, he is a major professor who took a stand on creativity
in schools. Along that would be blobs of paint in blue, representing bullet
points with words such as Bio, Problem, and last solution. When you look at
this picture you only see the painting, words, and props in color. The back ground
is light gray with black dimmed marks all around the page. I think it’s trying
to state a stage theme where creativity has the spot light on bright. Hanging
over the picture is a set of pink ballerina shoes, and on the left bottom side
there is a set of two drums and wooden sticks, representing creative aspects
for people. On the bottom right there are four colorful books, in green, blue,
yellow, and red. The books represent different books for different people,
instead of similar books with the same ideas. The picture is a setting of an
idea that creativity is more important to be creative then all directed in the
same way. Ken Robison’s name is on this picture, so people can look him up and
read more information on schools killing creativity. Creativity needs to be
shown within schools for students to better achieve in something that makes
them unique and different is the message that came over to me when I first look
at this picture.
In the second picture for people who don’t support the
ideal image of creativity would happen to be an old black and white picture. There
are white words across the picture that say’s our education system was designed
by the Victorians for an age of mass production. These words are on top of the
old classroom setting in the background. Some desks are turned upside down on
top of other desks. There is an image on the floor that looks like an old
school textbook. The picture has a very old classroom setting in the background
to show how important it is to stick the standard old model assessments for
students. There is no physical people in this picture expect for words and old
desks. Victorian was chosen as a word to
show an old historic period time in education. Students weren’t based on creativity
back in the day, to cause a mass production in the world, causing people to
believe it’s not important for students to have within their education. The colors
of this picture were vintage and dark to make this image seem from back in the
day of education. People need to continue learning by the Victorian age of
life, to continue the large mass production in the world.
The features for both of these pictures are very
important for people who do and don’t have concerns on creativity within
students. In the first picture it gives an idea image, that music, dance, and
books are all an important matter combined together to make an importance on creativity
in schools. The main focus was to put it on a an artwork frame to show creativity
is important for people to have, that schools are killing with problem solving,
and the same solution skills. To be a creative person doesn’t mean you’re
strictly involved in art, it simply means you can dance, read books, and even
play music to be creative. Ken Robinson has a major role on how creativity in schools
is being killed, that’s why his name is right under the words schools are
killing creativity in the artwork. In the second picture, pertaining to not caring
about creativity in schools shows that the strict Victorian method was designed
to create a large production in the work force field from school. Back in the
day creativity was never a problem so why should it be now a days, students
learn just fine the way they do now without creativity enforced into curriculum
programs. If students were taught the old fashioned style, and produced a large
enough mass force, then nothing should be in the way to stopping this
generations of production. The creativity in schools no matter what category, a
person may see is right or wrong will just continue to kill hopes, dreams, and desires
for students. The standard way of teaching will just continue to help give
students success the way it always has way before creativity was ever an issue.
