We must first acknowledge and admit that the performing arts, dramatization, acting, play and role-playing in the classroom need to be shifted slightly to the creative educational game. This swift is necessary because of the scientific nature of the lessons, but also because we are targeting teenagers, rather than young children. We are, moreover, experienced […]

Introducing art to STEM courses is not a simple process that the teacher has to follow individually. It is not only necessary for the whole class to be adjusted, but also for the whole school, for the educational program, and for the state educational process as a whole. This swift towards STEAM is, already, taking […]

At this point it is advisable to give a definition of STEAM. Thus, we will use, as more comprehensive, the definition given by the Institute for Arts Integration & STEAM. “STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and […]

Here, we must also point out the great importance of another misunderstood and marginalized (from education and not only) function: This of the game. The game is a key element for both the child and the scientist. Thus, the child plays by making different things with his Legos and the scientist, also, “plays” by mixing […]

Concentration, imagination and creativity are the tools and means to abandon cognitive education and move decisively to a creative way of teaching. And while with the first, we bombard the student with a vast number of notions which are often difficult to understand (hence the “parroting”), with the second, the images appear before our eyes, […]

Art is based on the image and the virtual representation of reality. The only exception seems to be music which has its own code. However, through this code, it, also, concludes in the creation of images and emotions. For example, Georg Friederich Händel’s “Water Music” and Antonio Vivaldi’s “4 Seasons” manage to create images based […]

The transition from STEM to STEAM, in the field of education, is fascinating as long as we understand the basic principles and characteristics of art, both in their conception and in their application. The principle on which this study and these proposals are based on, is the poetic principle that really innovative and inspiring scientific […]

The combination of Art and other STEAM sectors, helps the students see future obstacles, from multiple points of view and find a solution. A person who learns how to draw simple pictures or representations will be better equipped to communicate ideas and solutions to co-workers from various departments, etc. STEAM encourages students to demonstrate and use […]

Critical Thinking vs Creativity. If being logical opposes to breaking the rules and following instincts could we assume it will serve as a hindrance to the creative mind ? The artistic process is complicated, it requires detailed and close observation to discover  multiple layers of meanings. Educators in the Art field require students to be […]
