Abstract
The aims of ‘InQbate: The Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Creativity’ are
twofold: to increase the creativity of our teaching, and to improve our teaching of creativity [Childs
et al, 2006]. This case study outlines how we have addressed these twin goals by drawing on the
experience of the creative disciplines in order to design physical learning spaces that support
creation-, construction-, performance-, installation- and exhibition-based activities within a social
constructivist pedagogical model. We hope that this will act as a bridge for increased dialogue
and collaboration between Higher Arts Education and non-Arts subjects.
