Cecilia Gault's Interview

Cecilia Gault's interview with Sir Thomas Robinson covered several interesting topics that all related to creativity and learning. They discussed the three myths of creativity and how they hinder education. The three myths revolved around the thought that it's possible to be completely uncreative. Robinson believes that creativity can be learned and cultured in every single person. He also discussed the true definition of intelligence by saying that there really is not one, and it is a very fluid concept.

I believe the two of them talk about some very interesting things, and the fact that these types of questions come from a young student such as Cecilia is promising. She attends a performing arts school that places a much greater emphasis on creativity than averages schools; this could be a great example that shows how fostering a creative learning environment is conducive to a child's curiosity about the meaning of knowledge and learning.
