The Mindful Studio

Using mindfulness-based expressive arts practices in art education benefits both teachers and students, promoting present-moment awareness for increased problem solving and risk-taking in the creative process, and connecting physical, emotional, and cognitive experiences for a rich learning environment.

Throughout The Mindful Studio, you will discover centering practices to begin creative endeavors, mindfulness-based visual arts lessons with reflection questions, and lesson extensions to explore mindfulness in a variety of art modalities.

Imagine a classroom where all students feel safe to simply show up, be present to all facets of their amazing and growing beings, and respond through creative and mindful practices.
