Call for Articles

Using mindfulness-based expressive arts practices in art education promotes present-moment awareness for increased problem-solving and risk-taking in the creative process. Bringing these practices to the classroom offers students tools to connect physical, emotional, and cognitive experiences for a rich learning environment and encourages them to be open to their emotional life.
