Teaching from the Inside Out
On the boy who found his lost friends in a tent, the heart that sank at a flawless exhibition, and thirty years of undoing what my own art education taught me.
What People Don’t See: The Invisible Work of IB Visual Arts Teachers
In this musing, I speak directly to VA teachers everywhere to name the invisible complexity of our work, to acknowledge the uncertainty many are feeling as we navigate the new curriculum, and to remind you why the weight you carry is not a sign of failure but a reflection of the deeply human nature of our subject.
When a School is Brave Enough to Lead with Creative Intelligence
This musing grew out of one workshop that truly inspired me – a day that reminded me why Creative Intelligence matters, and how powerful it is when educators step into the unknown together.
Consciousness Without Conscience
We are living in an age of immense consciousness but diminishing conscience. Our technologies expand faster than our capacity to feel, and the shadow we refuse to face is shaping the world around us. This Musing explores what happens when intelligence outgrows empathy, and how Creative Intelligence invites us to reunite consciousness with conscience, before it’s too late.
Creative Intelligence and the Jungian Mind
AI can recognise patterns, but it cannot feel meaning. This Musing explores how Creative Intelligence bridges the gap between technology and consciousness through a Jungian lens.
From Euclid to Intuition
What happens when we stop controlling an artwork, and let it lead instead? This musing explores Frank Stella’s transition from Euclidean precision to intuitive gesture, and invites you to enter the creative conversation through your own response.
