Unbinding Learning

      Fostering creativity, the naturally present capacity for effective adaptation, requires “unbinding” opportunities rather than constrictions. The artist’s studio is a completely open environment, shaped to inspire and promote internal dreams and motivations. The closer we can get to this “play-based" model, where we can discover what we truly want to do, the more students will become self-generative, self-reliant and self-directed in their learning.
     Media arts intrinsically promotes this creative-based, unbinding learning environment. It opens many more avenues for discovering, applying, practicing, manipulating and presenting content. And it is capable of adapting to and interconnecting any and all subject areas and arts disciplines. It is literally, the “intermediary” that can integrate them all.

   This has parallels in recent discoveries in cognitive science.
