Description/Abstract:

As creative education onboards generative AI, and students contend with algorithmic certainty and optimised outputs, the art library provides an indispensable environment for embodied learning, fostering engagement with ambiguity through serendipitous discovery during the creative process. This essay demonstrates how creative educators can use the book spine poetry and art library to engage their students with ambiguity and embodied learning.
