A highly topical look at the role of art and the importance of
creativity in our lives and the wider world. Art, in its widest
sense, encompasses many different forms, from painting and poetry
to dance, pottery and quilting and much else besides. Creativity is
an essential part of what makes us human as well as being crucial
for a range of disciplines in the world of work, including science,
architecture and technological innovation. This book asks many
questions relating to the importance of art in our lives, such as
where is art and where does the impulse to make art come from? Who
are artists? What is art for? Can art change anything? What use is
the imagination and what is the point of daydreaming? It includes
pieces from a range of contributors, including Kate Clanchy, Lemn
Sissay, Preti Taneja and Andria Zafirakou, who write about their
relationship with art and describe what being creative means to
them and to others. Aimed at young people aged 10 and upwards. Part
of the groundbreaking and important 'And Other Big Questions'
series, which offers balanced and considered views on the big
issues we face in the world we live in today. Other titles in the
series include: Who are Refugees and Migrants? What makes people
leave their homes? What is Right and Wrong? Who decides? Where do
values come from? What is Race? Who are racists? Why does skin
colour matter? What is Mental Health? Where does it come from? What
is Politics? Why should we care?
