Publisher's Synopsis
Why the future belongs to creative thinkers-and how the arts shape the way we learn.
For decades, arts education in Hong Kong has struggled to find its place within an exam-driven school system. In Evolving Creative Mindsets, Lynn F. C. Yau argues that the arts are not an extracurricular luxury but a vital force in shaping innovative minds. Drawing on over fourteen years of research and conversations with artists and educators, Yau makes a compelling case for integrating the arts more deeply into education, both as a subject and as a way of thinking.
From fostering critical problem-solving skills to preparing students for an unpredictable world, the arts provide tools for creativity and meaningful learning. This book is an essential resource for policymakers, educators, arts institutions, and those invested in reimagining the role of the arts in education.
