What if we imagine the mille-feuille not only as a manifolded butter dough but as an allegory for an artistic pedagogical theory and practice? Grounded in the aesthetics and properties of layered and relational structures. The pastry-allegory challenges hierarchical taxonomies of learning, such as Bloom's, in which ‘creativity’ is placed at the top of a pyramid as an ultimate distinction. In contrast, this approach sees creativity as something that emerges between, across, and within every layer of the learning process.
