The Great Belmont Experiment

A few months ago, I posed a question to Belmont University: can creativity be taught?  17 students signed up to find out with me.  The answer seems to be "yes".  At the end of the semester, lots of things existed that didn't at the beginning: a couple of film treatments, the first chapter of a novel, a photo shoot, some wonderful work combining dance and childhood development, the score for an independent film . . . and much more.  How great is that?
