"Creativity is learned like learning to read"
Lluís Amiguet - 03/11/2010
I have 60 years: irrelevant when you are able to create as a child, and all we can if we want. I was born in a poor neighborhood of Liverpool, the Beatles, no school creative. I'm not good herd, so I have no party but political. Collaborated with the Forum

visiting a cole one day I saw a girl of six highly concentrated drawing. I asked, "What are you drawing?". And he said: "The face of God. "
. ..!
" Nobody knows how it is, "I observed." Best - she said, while drawing, now I know. "
Every child is an artist. For every child
blindly believe in his talent. The reason is that they have no fear of being wrong ... Until the system is teaching them little by little that the bug exists and should be ashamed of him.
The Children are also wrong.
If you compare the picture of that girl with the Sistine Chapel, of course yes, but if you leave God to draw its own way, that girl will keep trying. The only error is to penalize a college creative risk.
tests do exactly that.
I'm not against testing, but to make them the center of the educational system and the notes in his only purpose. The girl who drew gave us a lesson: if you're not prepared to be wrong, never be right, only copies. You will not be original.
Can you measure intelligence?
The question is not how much intelligence, but what kind of intelligence you have. Education should help us all find our own and not be limited to channel to the same type of talent.
What is that kind of talent?
Our educational system was designed to meet the needs of industrialization: talent only to be disciplined workforce with technical training at different hierarchical levels and staff to serve the modern state.
Labor is still needed.
But industrialization has gone! We are in another mode of production with other requirements, other hierarchies. We do not need millions of workers and technicians with identical skills, but our system is still forming. This increases unemployment.
But we repeat: innovation! The
ask that penalize them in their organizations, universities and colleges. We have stigmatized the risk and error and, instead, encourage passivity, conformity and repetition
Nothing more passive than a class.
Are you a teacher, right? Classes are passive because the incentives to be quietly and take notes that are repeated more than the risk involved and maybe mess up. So, after 20 years of education consisting of five levels to be formed to some factories and offices that no longer exist, no one is innovative.
What are the consequences?
That most people spend their lives doing things they do not really care, but they believe they must do to become productive and accepted. Only a small minority is happy with his work, and typically challenged the imposition of mediocrity in the system. Types
luck ...
are those who refused to take anticreativo mistake: believing that only a few gifted with talent.
"Be humble, you agree not touch you."
False! We are all gifted in something! It's about discovering what. That should be the main function of education. Today, however, is focused on students clone. And it should do the opposite: to discover what is unique to each one of them.
"Creativity does not come in the genes?
is pure method. You learn to be creative as you learn to read. Creativity can be learned even after the system has made us unlearn.
For example ...
I'm from Liverpool and I know the institution where he received music lessons my friend Sir Paul McCartney and George Harrison ... My God! This music teacher in his class had 50 percent of the Beatles!
Y. ..
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. McCartney has told me that the guy they put on a classical album and went to smoke the hall.
Despite the school, were geniuses.
Elvis Presley did not admit it in the club singing in her school because "out of tune." To me, however, a poliomyelitis, the advice I was admitted to the Royal Ballet ...
There, sir, matched full.
I met someone who had been an eight-year school failure. Incapable of sitting listening to an explanation.

so inspired I leave the interview with Ken Robinson not resign myself to reduce it to the Contras. So, if you ask me, your hand will explain shortly how to find our creative element. Because you learn to be innovative like to add: at any age and any circumstances, the only condition of wanting. Robinson precisely how to do it in the report that is transforming the British education. And it encourages me to unlearn bad learned at school and take a chance with you to renew up to find our own area, our mentor and creative tribe, to achieve the same intense connection with the life they enjoyed Einstein or Mozart.
