Art-based Techniques and Strategies
Used in Teaching

• Art-based teaching can be a source

of inspiration for all teachers who want
to teach differently concepts like
tolerance, diversity and inclusion in
multicultural classrooms of adults,
seniors or children. This kind of
techniques and strategies help
teachers boost their self-confidence
with using creative techniques in order
to break possible language barriers
and adapt to the  different learning
styles.
Art-based Techniques and Strategies
Used in Teaching

are very suitable for teaching a
variety of interdisciplinary topics in
diverse and inter-generational
classrooms. Art helps learners
express their emotions, especially
when they learn in a second
language they don’t master.

stimulating children’s
curiosity and imagination
by ‘using imaginative
approaches to make
learning more interesting
and effective’ (Herbert,

Creative Learning and Creative Teaching Envelopes
Five Key Characteristics:

1. Questioning and challenging: We want

to encourage learners to ask “why”,
“how” and “what if”-type questions. We
need to support learners who respond
to questions or tasks in an unusual or
unexpected ways or ask unusual
questions themselves. We need to
teach learners to challenge
conventions and assumptions and to
think independently. These areas are
explored more fully in my previous
article on critical thinking and problem-
solving.
Creative Learning and Creative Teaching Envelopes
Five Key Characteristics:

2. Making connections and seeing

relationships:
We should recognize the
significance of learners’ prior
experience and the existing
knowledge they bring to learning.
We want them to be able to
generalize from information and
experience, searching for trends
and patterns, and re-interpreting
and applying learning in new
contexts.
Creative Learning and Creative Teaching Envelopes
Five Key Characteristics:

3. Envisaging what might be:

This involves learners being
able to ask “what if?”
questions, imagining and
seeing things in the mind’s
eye, visualizing alternatives
and seeing possibilities,
problems and challenges.
Creative Learning and Creative Teaching Envelopes
Five Key Characteristics:

4. Exploring ideas and keeping options

open:
Learners that can play with ideas
and experiment, responding
intuitively and trusting intuition will
develop into creative and
imaginative people who are willing
to try alternative and fresh
approaches, anticipate and
overcome difficulties; and follow
through ideas.
Creative Learning and Creative Teaching Envelopes
Five Key Characteristics:

5. Reflecting critically on ideas, actions

and outcomes:
With clear links to my previous
article, creative learners need to be
critical thinkers that review their
own progress, invite and act on
feedback from peers and teachers,
understand what “good” might look
like; and are able to put forward
constructive comments, ideas,
explanations and ways of doing
things.
