Abstract
This reflective piece considers the question ‘What do you learn when you study creative subjects?’. The author draws on pedagogical theory and practice to explore how centring a curriculum around the act of ‘making something new’ informs student expectations and experiences within a creative arts education. It concludes by arguing that educators should embrace the restless tension between the neatness of an aligned curriculum and the messiness of learning to create opportunities for students to try the possibilities of things. In doing so, they can help students make connections during their education and navigate a complex, changing and uncertain world beyond their studies.
