10 Drawing Exercises to Increase Creativity and Mindfulness
Class experience
This class teaches students drawing exercises they can perform anytime and anywhere with paper and pencil. The exercises are designed to help them be more creative regardless of what they are interested in (writers, musicians, singers, and dancers are invited to this drawing party)! In other words, this is not a class for sketching techniques as much as it is a class for enhanced innovative thinking. (Of course, it's a bonus if you love doodling!)

- Students will improve their understanding of what creativity is and how it works - Students will learn what activities they can do to lead a more creative life - Students will learn drawing exercises they can do anytime anywhere in order to increase creativity - Students will practice approaches for coming up with unique and useful ideas using logical reasoning and brainstorming
I have formally and informally studied creativity, both in my master's degree and in my professional work with incredibly creative individuals. I was also a full-time songwriter for many years and a guitar teacher for 10 years. In addition, I have extensive experience working with Davidson Young Scholars in the profoundly gifted population and with learners who identify as twice-exceptional.

Homework Offered
Homework for this class is optional. Students wishing to take the 10 exercises further (beyond the 5 minutes given during class) can certainly elaborate on the activities. Also, at the end of class, I will explain three additional activities students could do on their own time. These include doodling big outside the lines (outside with chalk), drawing a timeline of their life, and sketching pareidolia (things that aren't there but our imaginations fill them in - like finding a new constellation in the night sky).Assessments Offered
Informal assessment will take place in this class while sharing ideas and quick creations. I encourage students to take screenshots of my slides (shift, command, 4) in order to take notes they can use later on their own.Grades Offered
Bring a pencil, paper, a picture of yourself (or a mirror or smartphone). In addition, learners will want a red, green, blue, purple, yellow, and black crayon or colored pencil.
As a certified master educator, I offer engaging classes centered around reading, writing, life skills, and creative problem solving. With professional experience as a specialized reading teacher, middle school teacher, and enrichment...
