RS5 Sir Ken Robinson

Sir Ken Robinson says that creativity should be held on the same level as education and is just as essential. He makes this argument at a TED Conference and goes on about how it shouldn't be that education is held on a higher level than creativity and it shouldn't be. One of Ken Robinson’s main points was that people grow out of creativity and are born being creative they just grow out of it because it is not important to people in society. He also says that no one is original anymore because they don’t want to be “wrong”; being creative with things such as art you can’t be wrong but because creativity is not important to people it makes everyone similar.

I completely agree with Sir Ken Robinson because throughout life art and classes such as that are important in early development of kids for a reason and as time goes on it is almost just forgotten in a sense. Art majors are hard to come by and people who like to draw and are also good at it. We need more types of people who are creative because these are the types of people who really think differently than someone who stops art classes and their interest in drawing at a younger age. It is also because once you get past a certain age people choose majors and interests that will make them money and most of the time people who are creative and are majoring in art have a hard time getting jobs in today’s society. That is why it’s hard to come by people who are really interested in drawing and being creative still because of the importance people see education and that’s not how it should be.
