Episode 111: Creative Practice, Self-Care, & Mindfulness

Mindfulness can enhance creativity and creative problem-solving, qualities essential to the art room. Do you practice mindfulness yourself or with your students? With the hectic school year in full swing, it can be hard to slow down and take a minute or two to recenter, but there is plenty of data to support the benefits of doing just that. In this episode, Jane Dalton and James Rees, both educators and artists, join the Creativity Department to talk about using mindfulness in the art room. Exercises that only take two minutes can help you and your students regenerate and refocus on the tasks at hand. Listen in to the episode to learn how mindfulness can support creative practice and help your students!
