A Creative Affair - teaching and learning creativity

Len’s podcast about creativity is called A Creative Affair. In this episode, Len and his co-host, Brie Stockwell, discuss the teaching creativity with a special guest.

Joining their affair in this episode is Michael O'Neill, a photographic artist and professor at Queen's University of Charlotte. We’ve also featured Michael’s work previously in Len’s Journal Volume 1 Issue 3 published in November 2021. Michael produces the most striking, otherworldly images with his full-spectrum camera.

In this chat about Teaching Creativity they discuss:

  • Why teaching can make us more creative

  • Conscious competence

  • What role curiosity plays in teaching creativity

  • Why DOING is essential to the learning process

  • How perfectionism keeps us from being creative
