“Creativity and the arts”
Arts education is a long-term engineering process. Its development hinges not only on the arts and cultural policies of the Government, but also the contributions from stakeholders, education institutions, mass media as well as depending on the available resources in the society. As for the case in Hong Kong, we can see that it is not an easy process to change the perception of arts from “high arts” in 1970s - 80s to the present that arts are much more accessible to the general public. The capability of arts education in enhancing development of people’s intelligence and promoting creativity as well as responding to the changes of the society contribute much to keeping the process ongoing.

創意與藝術
藝術教育是個長期工程。其發展不僅牽引在政府的文化藝術政策，還要靠持份者、教育機構及傳媒出力，以及社會可用資源。以香港為例，在70、 80年代，公眾對藝術的觀感是「高深」，今天，藝術已較平易近人，讓公眾容易接觸，這觀念的改變過程並不容易。要繼續使藝術普及，有賴藝術教育提高民眾智慧的能力、推廣創意以及藝術教育對社會改變的回應。
