Marvin Bartel quotes Elliot Eisner's essay “A Typology of Creative Behavior in the Visual Arts,” from a book edited by Eisner, titled Readings in Art Education:

  • Boundary Pushing (the rules are too constraining)
  • Inventing (bring things together in a new way)
  • Boundary Breaking (the rules are the problem)
  • Aesthetic Organizing (order and beauty from chaos)

"Boundary Breaking” is the least common type, according to Eisner, and the last one, “Aesthetic Organizing,” is the most common.
