Creativity in a Cultural Context.

Irwin, Rita L.; Reynolds, J. Karen

Canadian Journal of Native Education, v19 n1 p90-95 1992

Interviews with 20 Ojibwa artists and teachers in isolated and urban Ontario communities suggest that creative expression is tied to and defined by social, cultural, ethical, and historical contexts. Conditions necessary for fostering creativity include time; materials; and an atmosphere of cooperation, psychological safety, and psychological freedom. (SV)
