- Creative Thinking, Thought and Language – Creative thinking produces ideas that are new and useful. It passes through preparation, incubation, illumination and verification, and mixes divergent (many ideas) with convergent (one best answer) thinking. Thought and language are closely linked (Whorf, Piaget, Vygotsky). Children develop language in fixed stages, helped by learning and by an inborn readiness.
2. Managing art projects
Project methodology for art projects · Teamwork and shared leadership · Documentation, recording and archiving · Sustainability and impact of art projects · Opportunities and cultural entrepreneurship
- Managing an Art Project: From Idea to Review – An art project moves through stages: idea, research, plan, make, show and review. Good management means choosing one idea, planning tasks and time, sharing work in a team, recording every step, showing the result and learning from it.
- From Ideas to Startups: Entrepreneurship – An entrepreneur turns an idea into a business by bringing together land, labour and capital and taking the risk. New ideas replace old ways, which economists call creative destruction. Startups grow with help from investors, banks, incubators, government schemes such as Startup India and Make in India, and small firms called MSMEs. A business plan maps the idea, costs and customers. The profit and loss statement shows Sales − Costs, and the balance sheet shows Assets = Liabilities + Capital.
- Entrepreneurship Development – Entrepreneurship is starting a new business by spotting a need, putting resources together and taking the risk. India needs entrepreneurs for jobs, new ideas and balanced growth. The process runs from knowing yourself to launching and growing. Start-up India (2016) supports new firms, funding comes from savings, angels, venture capital, banks and crowdfunding, and intellectual property rights protect new ideas, brands and creative work.
