Save Creative Writing in TAFE

/ #21 Creative thinking: one of the most important skills2010-11-23 23:46As someone who has recently completed a PhD in creative arts at Deakin University, after doing several of the creative units in a professional Writing and Editing course at Tafe, I am very disturbed about the proposed changes to the PWE course statewide. The fact that creativity isn't considered to be a crucial vocational skill is very odd, given that all of the great innovators throughout history have been creative thinkers - the reality is, bureaucratic thinking doesn't produce innovation. Instead, it tends to kill it. Apart from the fact that the world would be a very bland unhappy place without creativity, innovators in all fields - science, medicine, engineering, arts - require people who can think outside the square, who can imagine a different future. Creative skills are not secondary, they are, in fact, the most important vocational skills in a world that considers itself to be progressive and forward thinking. Thus I find the arguments put forward by bureaucrats to cut subjects that teach these vitally important skills, vacuous and ignorant. |
