I had a very interesting conversation with some people in a pub this evening. We were discussing how to engage young folk in the arts. I would be keen to know what you think arts education consists of or what you think it should consist of. The ultimate question is whether it should be skills based or creative based? I know that I am sitting on the fence but I believe that there is an argument for both. Is creativity not a skill that can be explored? Don’t the skills of drawing enable us to communicate our creativity?

let me know what you think.
