Study Notes
First Literacies: Art, Creativity, Play, Constructive Meaning-Making
- Educators should connect children's art and play with their first literacies, emphasizing embodied experience (drawing, manipulation, changing of meaning) through interactions with art materials (physical, emotional, and social immersion).
Building and Enhancing New Literacies Across the Curriculum
- Four essential components for developing/designing curriculum for creative literacy:
- Imagination and pretense, fantasy and metaphor: Curriculum should actively support play, allowing children to transform reality, build narratives, and master symbolic systems.
- Active menu to meaning making: Children choose their artistic expression method, linking literacy and art learning through drawing, writing, painting, or play.
- Intentional, holistic teaching: Teachers understand creative processes, supporting learners purposefully through intentional teaching (not rote learning) using examples like reading a story, adding props, playing with rhythm, and thoughtfulness.
- Co-player, co-artist: Educators understand children as current, capable citizens, engaging with children’s creativity.
National Coalition for Core Arts Standards: A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning (2014)
- Artistic literacy is defined as the knowledge and understanding necessary to participate authentically in the arts, involving embodiment (using verbal/nonverbal modes), communication (complex ideas), and understanding (words, sounds, images).
- Engaging in quality arts experiences: promotes powerful creative expression, communication, aesthetic understanding, and connection to the world.
Issues in Teaching Creativity
- Sir Ken Robinson criticizes educational paradigms that hinder creativity, particularly stigmatizing mistakes and prioritizing academic ability over other forms of intelligence (arts, humanities, physical education).
- Emphasizing creative capacity, considering well-being of learners, equalizing value of arts with other subjects (Mathematics, language, etc.), and fostering curiosity, are necessary for fostering creativity.
