what do you need to know to appreciate beauty?

12th March 2021 by Jax Blunt Leave a Comment

When you’re scrolling through twitter, and you come across a discussion on education and creativity and you hear…

“we can’t think creatively in the abstract, it’s a seductive proposition, but it just doesn’t work that way..[some stuff about needing to have a deep understanding of science to grasp climate change]…similarly, take the national gallery we have an amazing set of pictures in the national gallery, but you can’t go and look at them, and understand the beauty of them, to understand the technique the artist has used without a deep understanding of the discipline, without a deep understanding of home they’ve done these things.”

“It is important to teach children the knowledge of a subject, and of a discipline, before they can think creatively. We can’t think creatively in the abstract…” @jonathansimons pic.twitter.com/bqyOQVRAAT
