If i had a dime for every time someone said they couldn't even draw a stick figure
Comment from : @fishnoises

Everyone ❤ is an artist
Comment from : @LibelluleenLIBERTE

I'm an art educator and in my own practice, I use traditional materials, but in my classroom I have to make lesson plans that are engaging and accessible to as many if not all students in my class, whether they like art or not That said, yes, i do praise students who make a concerted effort to display their ability to draw more realistically, that can help boost their confidence and push them further as artists, just as it did for me What i also do is try to find ways to magnify and praise other aspects of the work for students who make not be able to draw as well this felt like more covertly trying to be divisive and slyly discrediting people who can actually draw as lacking creativity or worst of all, not really being an artist but just someone who knows how to draw well

Comment from : @douglasprinceart

As an abstract artist this is right Abstract can’t be taught Art elements, colour,perspective etc can be taught but the student needs to be encouraged to express their ideas in their own way Sometimes it’s just how they feel at the time Our work can be our idea and not liked by others but it does provoke conversation Teachers let your students create without a rigid structure Analyse and understand their work and provide encouraging feedback to every single one no matter how different they are

Comment from : @annadesilva6752

Amazing!!!! We need so much more of this!!!
Comment from : @SilverPennyArtisans

This is the way I was taught art- Art History and Artist thought process to help your own artist journey
Comment from : @Whyamiherel0l

Everyone, I heartily recommend watching TED talks by Sir Ken Robinson on education and creativity

I watch this video about 150 times!!
Comment from : @srourfamily

You answered so many of my personal questions on “how to create art” And helped me see my own process on how I create programs
Comment from : @Sundayjean

Thank you for this! If you write a book I will read it
Comment from : @Sundayjean

Art is ideas manifesting Limiting art to simulation or “beauty” is such a disservice
Comment from : @shakugan73

I do Art and I create my own Imaginary world in cartooning of everyday life with a touch of humor of what I see or hearbrSir Ken Robinson, I loved his speech on Creativity
Comment from : @stevethomas211

That’s great but we have to face the fact that politicians and most teachers don’t want us to think or they want us to think how they want us to think
Comment from : @solb101

I'm a first year art teacher and I always come back to this ted talk The enthusiasm I see in one of my kids' eyes when I tell them to keep pursuing something, that the experimentation they are doing is good is honestly the best part of the job Seeing them get so excited about their own ideas and innovations is something I can't get enough of
Comment from : @Katiethewizard

Artists understand these cliches and the dedicated ones, ignore them and work around them That is how they get to be good
Comment from : @reethkitchards

Thank you so much!
Comment from : @user642a2

Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring talk!
Comment from : @GabrielaIrigoyenArteLivros

Every craftsman must be an apprentice in the beginning Not sure how you can effectively reach across disciplines and synthesize info when you don’t have the foundation of even one discipline In my opinion, what she is encouraging is the biggest reasons none of our young people know anything, and the biggest problem with modern education Don’t do to art what’s been done to every other subject Kids do need to learn the concepts and the rules before they can creatively break the rules
Comment from : @lesliedriggers3497

Favorite Ted Talk by far
Comment from : @bejuniorfallon8376

How to kill creativity? By saying you're "wrong" By insisting there is only one "right" interpretation everyone must adhere to Creativity is about exploring options, perspectives, dimensions and seeing which ones stimulate growth It's a widening, not a narrowing A deepening, not a shallowing Wings of imagination, not two feet planted firmly on the ground Encourage the kids to explore!
Comment from : @TorMax9

This is much too ambitious, too many vague terms, making connections can't really be taught, good thing too, if it could the advertisers would have all our money
Comment from : @davideatwell6577

i like it but why she doesnt drink some water??
Comment from : @amadeoorellana6863

Thank you
Comment from : @yohibo-aljamal

BravoLet's re-ignite our children's comfort with ambiguity, idea generation and transdisciplinary research
Comment from : @brendarudzinskimusic

Holy smokes this is exactly what I want to create! Not for people who think they are “artists” , not just young people “who are developing”, but for the general public Push them to think different Push them to research and put together things in a new way It’s so exciting to think what we can do with nothing off the table
Comment from : @AmyFerguson

This mindset actually undermines what art teachers do Show me a math teacher giving a Ted talk about “teaching for linear thinking” Can you imagine math teachers advocating to stop teaching kids to solve math equations but instead just teach how mathematicians think because big corporations need people who are good problem solvers
Comment from : @marisa537

Over and over in art lectures I hear things like ambiguity, potential, and the infinite possibilities of interpretation being posed as good things In other words, things that mean uncertainty Is it possible the only way to upset and shock the art world today is to insist on an objective standard over mere potential?
Comment from : @RavenclawFtW3295

I also feel the same pain about art education thank you
Comment from : @riddhimasarraf8341

Halfway through, Monet was brought up with the realization that they weren't teaching students to think (and see?) like Monet In order to understand Monet's work one has to have solid drawing, study of color/color theory, understanding of light, composing of space, scale, and experience that comes from working as a painter/draughtsperson from life for some time (years) Artists, Painters, are creative because they solve problems inherent to their medium and craft, inherent to the problems of painting, such as creating space, expressing light and/or color, expressing movement, putting disparate elements together within a composition, and so on The creative sense of 'play' is inherent, I think, to curious minds, but one can't solve the inherent problems found within a field of they are not aware of them And that awareness only comes from years of practice within that field, as a student and practitioner

I love to teach art but schools ask for degrees I ask you; did “ Van Gogh “ graduate from an art school? brWhat about the other artists ? brI never go to a college to learn art brBut I can teach how to be creativebrMany blessings
Comment from : @myramo1210

All hearts ❤️
Comment from : @kaushapandit9242

This method of teaching art aligns with Teaching for Artistic Behavior or TAB I see this growing more each year and’s I finally jumped on the bandwagon after seeing a TAB Elementary art room in person and I realized it could be done I hope more art teachers see this video
Comment from : @Gjous679

I wish to be trained by Cindy Foley
Comment from : @anjalisingh-bh1gi

I use a lot of art integration when teaching core subjects I find that adding art to your classroom is like adding saffron to a dish…it makes it BETTER! 🎨👍🏻
Comment from : @mrramjangles5165

Thank you so much for this perspective How can I to learn how to teach this way?
Comment from : @melissapatz4032

Brilliant
Comment from : @fineartbykashmirashukla3562

i agree with her statement so much of art appreciation in the general public is for the best technicians, but is that art? is that creativity? i suppose any creation is, once you realize it's value for the creator as for the value of art to society that's a different thing altogether

Comment from : @alfonso3255

THis is such an important video for everyone to see!
Comment from : @francoisehelenepoetry5462

Now I understand my profound discomfort with my ability to produce art from project to project It takes time, it takes lots of knowledge, curiosity and time Otherwise you are a factory
Comment from : @TheLily97232

I have been painting for decades and have no idea what "think like an artist means", but I hope it doesn't mean there is a "way" to think" Maybe some schools differ, but as I recall, subject matter would be conditioned in most schools Trying to light fires under people who might "become artists" is offensive People with something to say, or show, need no fire- they need time, space, respect and love Mostly love
Comment from : @davidwilsonBC

Brilliant talk - ideas don't come fully formed, they need to be worked on - that goes from producing a record to painting (your toe nails!)
Comment from : @elicastelli9728

the macaroni sound is very distracting
Comment from : @aurelius7092

Creativity is about generating ideas!

Comment from : @rungitusodurqel6264

Very very true I hope the art teaching institutions of today bear this in mind before the go ahead and wreck their students
Comment from : @svenfigenschou7345

Had this video playing in one window while literally researching videos of disappeared new york city places for an art project in ANOTHER window Right when she said artists are voracious researchers
Comment from : @BrandiMartinbkny

What is the difference between “ambiguity” and “confusion?” I was confused by your question - and I’m glad I caught on I’m glad I wasn’t the only one! And using words to communicate effectively - clearly - “less intellectually” - is what kids need It is image based I am a children’s author and once, after I had told one of my stories, a seven year old student came up to me and said, “I wrote a book!” I was totally impressed and asked what his story was about and he told me I asked him further (I also illustrate my books), “So did you draw pictures to go along with your book?” He said, “No The words make the pictures” It would do us an immense amount of good if we could learn from what he said Ambiguity often comes when our words don’t make pictures, but cause confusion
Comment from : @boip0362

Wow!!! 🤍
Comment from : @AdoronsLeDieuVivant

this is a great ted talk, i was looking up why people make art (really probably trying to get why people find it expressive) and i found so many wonderful answers here about artists minds yknow!
Comment from : @RainbowSprnklz

Quintessential knowledge here Have shown this Talk to many pre-service art educators!
Comment from : @abbyjohnson4820

She is nervous 😬
Comment from : @hungle8642

All children are intuitively and innediately creative until they are old enough to "fail" We teach failure
Comment from : @antitsa

Maybe they should play some Stevie Nicks like in School of Rock get it?
Comment from : @gigisilva4925

in summary , this educational system needs to be changed now
Comment from : @ChrisDMReloaded

Can anyone tell what is true definition of art?
Comment from : @muhammadsaad9387

The teaching of Art should encourage questions and open minded creativity Our future generations need it, and Art curriculums are really suffering nowadays as a result of our need for answers Even scientists need and benefit from creativity
Comment from : @arthistoryonscreen8775

You do have to deal with our unknowns And get to the other side
Comment from : @brentmiller1590

Contemporary, abstract artist herebrbrCuriosity and ideas are great and are the basis for the best artworks, but the prime pitfalls of modern art schools are the inherent lack of practical faculty skill required to elevate the hopeful student to a professional level, followed by the political issues within college institutions regarding art as an educational platform, under-equipping the art student due to low funding for materialsbrbrHopefully, one day, creativity will be better rewarded socially and economically, but it'll have to be a different approach than what's been provided to most art students in the recent years
Comment from : @jonathanb6911

Don't kill the ideas! I love this!!!

Comment from : @henrykills

think like an artist or bfeel/b like an artist ? :-)
Comment from : @TheKeeperoftheGarden

Wonderful video and lesson, but my misophonia made it real difficult to pay attention Does a microphone exist that removes that moist mouth sound?
Comment from : @mirandahaun8772

A great lecture I spent all of my Art teaching career arguing that Art is the most important subject on school curriculum and that creativity is the highest form of intelligence
