Recently, it seems that importance of creativity is more emphasized in general education. Under this circumstance, creativity is core theme in the field of arts education. There has been research in and even out of the field of arts education that involvement in the arts is associated with gains in cognitive ability, creative thinking. Therefore, developing effective art lessons with special aesthetic activities for children’s creativity has been an important role in arts education. In order to help children develop their creativity, we must think how teachers can design effective activities in art lessons. “Drawing with special aesthetic activities” is when the teacher provides a specific drawing lesson combining music and literature for the students so they can create their own ideas and therefore advance their creativity. Art education has been theorized as a way for children to develop their creative achievement. Yet, there has been little research conducted into arts education to deliver original strategic and creative thinking, and examined how the development of creativity through drawing with special aesthetic activities in arts class. The research tool was the Test for Creative Thinking - Drawing Production (TCT-DP) which was developed by Jellen and Urban. researcher selected a random sample to take this test from a local intermediate school. This study introduced 176 students teachers’ creative classroom research using special aesthetic activities and explained how this project was initiated, what was the process of the project and how special aesthetic activities help students develop their creativity. The result of this study shows that the special aesthetic activity is a way where this learning and creative functioning can take place in large part because it provides the space for students and teachers to negotiate what is important in arts education, and for them to pursue arts education in the way real children do: as an educational and creative meaning making activity.
Abstract
Recently, it seems that importance of creativity is more emphasized in general education. Under this circumstance, creativity is core theme in the field of arts education. There has been research in and even out of the field of arts education that involvement in the arts is associated with gains in cognitive ability, creative thinking. Therefore, developing effective art lessons with special aesthetic activities for children’s creativity has been an important role in arts education. In order to help children develop their creativity, we must think how teachers can design effective activities in art lessons. “Drawing with special aesthetic activities” is when the teacher provides a specific drawing lesson combining music and literature for the students so they can create their own ideas and therefore advance their creativity. Art education has been theorized as a way for children to develop their creative achievement. Yet, there has been little research conducted into arts education to deliver original strategic and creative thinking, and examined how the development of creativity through drawing with special aesthetic activities in arts class. The research tool was the Test for Creative Thinking - Drawing Production (TCT-DP) which was developed by Jellen and Urban. researcher selected a random sample to take this test from a local intermediate school. This study introduced 176 students teachers’ creative classroom research using special aesthetic activities and explained how this project was initiated, what was the process of the project and how special aesthetic activities help students develop their creativity. The result of this study shows that the special aesthetic activity is a way where this learning and creative functioning can take place in large part because it provides the space for students and teachers to negotiate what is important in arts education, and for them to pursue arts education in the way real children do: as an educational and creative meaning making activity.
