| Summary |
Creative license' evokes the lingering end of a decade, a turning point which birthed the new regime, one which now defines how visual art is taught within Universities. Focusing on Leeds College of Art the book enables the reader to experience the surprising creativity and excess of the most avant-garde art school of the sixties and the unforeseen consequences of this in art and art education today. This is the first full account of the Leeds experiment in art education and demonstrates that much contemporary art is merely a pale imitation of the work produced there at the end of the sixties. The reader can share the experience of the tutors and students who were there as well as contemporary photographs which describe a pivotal moment in art education history |
