How Can Networks Cultivate the Conditions for Young Creatives to Thrive?

As observers to the intersectional fields of culture, education, and social change, Creative Generation witnessed the chosen organizational structure of “networks” come into vogue – particularly as smaller, community-based organizations have begun to participate in larger-scale, collaborative initiatives. In almost all examples, the individuals and organizations involved do their collaborative work through a “network,” using any number of connections and patterns. This qualitative inquiry sought to understand how applying Network Theory to organizational structures can cultivate the conditions to support young creatives. Through literature and conducting interviews with leaders of diverse networks in the arts and cultural education fields, this project provides an overview of Network Theory and examines examples of various models. This report proposes the following set of provocations for the field to interrogate the use of Network Theory in their projects’ implementation: strong connections between the network and its participants, shared power among network leadership and participants, clear expectations about funding, and specific role for young creatives in decision-making.

The concept of creative doing in the philosophy of I.A. Ilyin and its application in modern liberal arts education in the high school

Introduction. The philosophy of I.A. Ilyin proposes a program for the renewal of society while returning to the spiritual tradition, which seems to be relevant for modern humanitarian education. The aim of this research is to reconstruct the concept of creative doing in the I.A. Ilyin`s philosophy and to demonstrate of its application in the organization of design and research work of university`s students in the framework of humanitarian education. Materials and methods. Based on the analysis of modern research literature and works of I.A. Ilyin, theoretical and hermeneutical methods were used in this work, as well as the design and research method of organizing educational work with students. Research results. Creative doing is the creative implementation of each person's life project in real conditions. The concept of creative doing consists of four points: 1) creation of oneself; 2) building your own business; 3) building a family and raising children; 4) social and cultural creation. In the philosophical works of I.A. Ilyin, you can find this concept. By discovering spiritual reality, a person comprehends God's plan for himself, his “calling”, freely accepts it and responsibly implements it in his life. The family, created on the basis of the spiritual community of the spouses, transmits the spiritual tradition and creates a new, more creative generation. Patriotism is brought up in the family, the transition to the concepts of the Motherland, the state, domestic and world culture is carried out. The topics are named and the stages of organizing the design and research work of students are presented. Discussion and conclusions. The novelty of this research lies in the combination of theoretical (philosophical ideas of I.A. Ilyin) and practical (long-term practice of organizing students' design and research work) approaches, which allows solving educational problems within the framework of humanitarian education. The concept of creative doing allows you to combine a personal approach with domestic traditions and public good.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?A Report of Learnings from We Can’t Go Back: A Video Interview Series Focused on Anti-Racism in Arts & Cultural Education

From August to December 2020, the Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie podcast and Creative Generation collaborated with twenty-two inspiring Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) artists, educators, and community activists through the “We Can’t Go Back.” The interviews aggregated leadership strategies, educational tools, and an archive of the stories of BIPOC professionals whose work took action - inspired by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other countless victims at the hands of police - to further community understanding, counteract White Supremacy, and disassemble anti-Blackness in cultural and educational systems. This cumulative report highlights the many anti-racist, liberatory, and intersectional feminist practices, strategies, and fundamental shifts in arts and cultural work – both pedagogical and institutional – to reimagine a future to which the arts education field may move toward. Readers are invited to pause and reflect on the question: If we can't go back, where do we go from here?

Quantum-Based Creative Generation Method for a Dancing Robot

In this paper, we propose a creative generation process model based on the quantum modeling simulation method. This model is mainly aimed at generating the running trajectory of a dancing robot and the execution plan of the dancing action. First, we used digital twin technology to establish data mapping between the robot and the computer simulation environment to realize intelligent controllability of the robot's trajectory and the dance movements described in this paper. Second, we conducted many experiments and carried out a lot of research into information retrieval, information fidelity, and result evaluation. We constructed a multilevel three-dimensional spatial quantum knowledge map (M-3DQKG) based on the coherence and entangled states of quantum modeling and simulation. Combined with dance videos, we used regions with convolutional neural networks (R-CNNs) to extract character bones and movement features to form a movement library. We used M-3DQKG to quickly retrieve information from the knowledge base, action library, and database, and then the system generated action models through a holistically nested edge detection (HED) network. The system then rendered scenes that matched the actions through generative adversarial networks (GANs). Finally, the scene and dance movements were integrated, and the creative generation process was completed. This paper also proposes the creativity generation coefficient as a means of evaluating the results of the creative process, combined with artificial brain electroenchalographic data to assist in evaluating the degree of agreement between creativity and needs. This paper aims to realize the automation and intelligence of the creative generation process and improve the creative generation effect and usability of dance movements. Experiments show that this paper has significantly improved the efficiency of knowledge retrieval and the accuracy of knowledge acquisition, and can generate unique and practical dance moves. The robot's trajectory is novel and changeable, and can meet the needs of dance performances in different scenes. The creative generation process of dancing robots combined with deep learning and quantum technology is a required field for future development, and could provide a considerable boost to the progress of human society.

Pedagogical discourse in the system of color perception of art by future designers in the process of training

The priorities of modern education are addressed to the spiritual, moral, aesthetic and artistic foundations in the development of artistic culture and art of the young creative generation. The paradigm shift in the color perception of the art of modernism and postmodernism is acquiring a tendency to dominate quasi-cultural values. The creativity of the young generation is based on the traditions of the imagery of Russian realistic art. The artistic image in art always carries with it a certain social significance. This affiliation of art is characteristic of the entire development of the traditions of the spirituality of Russian education. The modern universe of art education has enormous spiritual heuristic potential. Russian thinkers, scientists and teachers A.F. Losev, Yu.M. Lotman, V.A. Sukhomlinsky, K.D. Ushinsky and P.A. Florensky pointed out that without traditions in art it is impossible to navigate in the present and build harmonious foundations of the future. The fast flow of information processes of young creative generation is not able at times to understand the higher spiritual and moral values of color art.
