Creative arts neglected

Creative arts neglected. New Straits Times. (2018)



Abstract

THE creative arts pedagogy (visual and performing arts) in our education system leaves much to be desired.

For so long, it has been adduced as an addendum to the educative process. It has never been accorded equal status with science and mathematics. In fact, to most scientists, it would be blasphemy to speak of creative arts, science and mathematics in the same breath.

As a result of this neglect and condescending attitude, pedagogy in creative arts education has declined dramatically — there has not been any rigorous development in the teaching methodology and creation of knowledge in these creative fields. It has to fend for itself. The quality of teaching has deteriorated to such an extent that it has been left to the vagaries of the general teaching staff to conduct creative arts classes.
