Re-Thinking Creativity: A Discipline-Based Perspective.

Dunnahoo, Dan E.

Art Education, v46 n4 p53-60 Jul 1993

Reviews the place of creativity in the two major orientations of art education: (1) creative self-expression; and (2) discipline-based art education (DBAE). Asserts that critics of DBAE argue that it is dry and does not allow for creative expression. Rejects this notion and claims that properly implemented DBAE produces intellectual and emotional excitement among students. (CFR)
