Creativity Tip of the Week!
Your week is often jammed packed with so many things to do – from meetings and appointments, to exercising and running the kids to sports activities. With so many things on our minds almost all the time difficult to find time for yourself, let alone find time to think through a creative problem.
TIP: Schedule time to daydream. That’s right! We plan out most of our days, each day. So, we must intentionally set time aside to relax, refresh and think. Often when you have a problem to solve schedule time to relax and not think about it. It’s often during these time when we are not forcing thought, but rather relaxing in our thought, that a solution (often a creative one) pops into our consciousness!

Check out our latest New Sauerpuss and Friends Episodes Here!
We recommend using our shows to support and supplement your creativity and art teaching. These short episodes, which are seasonally thematic, can be used as a learning and hands-on exercise, or as an edutainment break in your normal teaching routine.
This short video can be used to challenge and stretch the imagination of your students.
TIP: I normally play the introduction up until Sauerpuss challenges the viewer to think up ideas using the letter V. Next, I hand out paper (either blank or with preprinted Letter V’s on them) to each person. Next I give the students 5 to 15 minutes to use their imaginations to draw as many ideas using the same letter. Encourage them to look at the Letter in different ways to help them come up with different ideas! When they are finished and they have shared what they have drawn, click play again and share what ideas Sauerpuss came up with doing this exercise!
