A highly topical look at the role of art and the importance of creativity in our lives and
the wider world
A highly topical look at the role of art and the importance of creativity in our lives and the
wider world. Art, in its widest sense, encompasses many different forms, from painting
and poetry to dance, pottery and quilting and much else besides. Creativity is an essential
part of what makes us human as well as being crucial for a range of disciplines in the world
of work, including science, architecture and technological innovation. This book asks many
questions relating to the importance of art in our lives, such as where is art and where
does the impulse to make art come from? Who are artists? What is art for? Can art change
anything? What use is the imagination and what is the point of daydreaming? It includes
pieces from a range of contributors, including Kate Clanchy, Lemn Sissay, Preti Taneja and
Andria Zafirakou, who write about their relationship with art and describe what being
creative means to them and to others.
