This week we did something a little different for art. As we approached the end of our first week back, I wanted art to be relaxing and a low stakes activity. I follow a wonderful artist and art teacher on Instagram, Andrea Nelson, and she shared a wonderful mindfulness activity a while back that I saved to my School folder. Students were asked to create gentle wavy lines across their page. Then, they were asked to draw vertical lines with a variety of markers without letting them touch their pencil lines or each other. The idea behind it is that sometimes when our brain is busy, doing a simple low stakes art activity can calm our mind...just like taking deep breaths. Paying attention to the creation of simple lines, the spacing, the colour...frees our minds from the rest of life's stress and pressure. The students really loved this activity!
