"A scientist at MIT tells me that his grad students are very smart and
technically capable, but when they get an unexpected result, they are slow in
their ability of figure out what they have discovered. He says their greatest
need is to become more creative." Marvin Bartel
"Science students have learned to be careful to avoid mistakes…not how to learn from mistakes. They lack the imagination and creativity to see their own discoveries when they happen…they waste time & energy because they have not learned to actually experiment. Their science classes assigned them lab work where they already knew... answers before they did the lab work." Marvin Bartel
Teaching for Artistic Behaviors encourages creativity. You might not always like what you end up with, but at there is something important about exploring your ideas in a "hands on way."
