Finding Flow in the Art Room
Years ago, I read a book called Finding Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in which he author discusses awareness, engagement and the attributes of being "in the zone" or "finding flow". Naturally, my biggest goal is to have engaged students that can "find flow" in their art-making. One facet of this that I have been exploring is the environment of the art room. How can I maximize work space while maintaining a "meeting place" in the art room? Where do I store supplies so that they are out of the way yet accessible? How do I give students more ownership of the art room so that it functions more as an art studio rather than art classroom?
