Einstein once said that he never would have come up with e=mc squared if he had not been able to play with an idea. Businesses today are looking for people who can think playfully or creatively, "out-of-the-box," as they say. Workers need to spend unstructured time in acts of imagination in order to tap into their playful side where they can create, invent, stretch, and dream of what could be. Through this guided hands-on art workshop, participants will be lead in a series of exercises designed to help them tap into that source of innate creativity where their playful side exists so they can be more open to new ideas.

Raising Innovative Kids

Time: Monday, Nov. 28, 2011, 1:30-3:30pm
This informative workshop for parents and educators of young children is lead by Paula Beaulieu,M.Ed. a veteran educator whose business is to help people connect with their creativity. There is a growing body of research suggesting that creativity in American children is declining and the greatest concern is for children now in elementary school. Paula will provide evidence of current research on the subject, some causes of the decline, and some practical, non-time consuming ways that parents and educators can encourage their child’s creative exploration so that we can grow the next generation of innovators in this country.
New workshops will post in 2012. |
