Students explore creativity theories and concepts, ,"creatives", and creative works from a wide variety of media and appraise the interrelationships of creativity and surrounding cultures, exploring the creative process and asking what has led to, as well as what results from, field-specific creative work as well as interdisciplinary expressions. Students learn to analyze, synthesize, draw inferences, propose new ideas, support theses, reach logical conclusions, and become active participants in creative processes.
