Review: Vocabulary

Creativity
Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed. The created item may be intangible or a physical object.

Readymades
The readymades of Marcel Duchamp are ordinary manufactured objects that the artist selected and modified, as an antidote to what he called "retinal art". By simply choosing the object and repositioning or joining, titling and signing it, the Found object became art.

Found Objects
Typical "found objects" include natural materials like sand (see Sand Art), earth, stones, shells, curiously shaped pieces of wood, a human skull; or man-made items such as newspaper cuttings, photographs, pieces of glass, fragments of scrap metal, pieces of textile fabric, an unmade bed, a bicycle handlebars, and soon.

Art Installation
Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that often are site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space.

Site Specific  Performance 
Site-specific performance is any type of theatrical production designed to be performed at a unique, specially adapted location other than a standard theater. This specific site either may be originally built without any intention of serving theatrical purposes, or may simply be considered an unconventional theater space. 

The Final Workshop Report
The NSF Workshop on “Art, Creativity and Learning”, held at the National Science Foundation Headquarters in Arlington Virginia and The Phillips Collection on June 11-13, 2008, brought together a pool of the world's leading investigators interested in the relations between the enhancement of learning, the transfer of cognitive abilities, and art education. The goals of the workshop were (i) to establish if there is a sufficient basis for initiating a field of study of the Enhancement of Learning through Art to the Science of Learning, (ii) to explore the current status of related research, and (iii) to determine the potential for future research in this arena from the neuroscientific, cognitive and educational perspectives.

Drawing: First Individual Lesson Plan

TODAY Using the Naïve art principle, usually defined as visual art that is created by a person who lacks the formal education and training that a professional artist undergoes (in anatomy, art history, technique, perspective, ways of seeing); students created their own drawings.  Based on their own experience drawing, they created their own individual lesson plan.
