Welcome to The Creative Mind! This discussion-based class examines how creativity is formed and how creative actions have been used to express all aspects of humanity. We will spend time focusing on the formation of creative boundaries and how those boundaries can be broken. This blog is your place to play with the ideas discussed in class. Enjoy!
