Notes from De Duve, When Form Has Become Attitude

LP. 21 - creativity= ability to perceive + imagination (gestalt). Allows art to be taught, not only the technical skill

Pedagogues: Froebel, Montessori, Decroly. School reformers, Rudolf Steiner, John Dewey. Great modern theorists of art: Herbert Read, E.H.Gombrich, Rudolf Arnheim.

- p.22 The difference between talent and creativity is that the former is unequally distributed and the latter universally. 

- p.23 - the difference between metier and medium is that the former has a historical existence and the latter a transhistorical existence.

- p.24 - the difference between imitation and invention goes without saying. Whereas imitation reproduces, invention produces; whereas imitation generates sameness, invention generates otherness; whereas imitation seeks continuity, invention seeks novelty.
