Creative Education Manifesto

The experiments, the research and thinking that I have done through this Thought Experiment has lead me on a journey through the perilous waters of Creativity, I started by jumping around my shed pretending to be a monkey, and now I'm here, writing a Creative Education manifesto. This was a late night rambling based on all the ideas I've accumulated over the years and specifically over the last month or so, it reflects my angers and concerns with education, most of these feelings have been with me since my time in school. The manifesto is rough and raw, but it's a starting point..

here it is..

May have gone a bit DaDa at points but I think maybe inspired by a conversation just before I got into my tutorial with Craig Woods the other day... We talked about how DaDa is still relevant today after Covid and Brexit, and we talked about how it's probably a good time for the next art movement to take place... and Craig joked and asked me if that is what I was pitching, the next big movement. It was funny, but the more I'm looking into creativity and the cuts the government has made to creative courses, the angrier I'm getting... Who knows.. maybe the next big movement will come in the form of creative play, shaping the minds of the future so that we can think our way out of shitty situations like were in currently..
