Art making is a deeply emotional and, some would say, spiritual process.
(Allen, 2005; Malchiodi, 2002; Wuthnow, 2001)
Yet, even art is often dominated by our rational mind.
We carefully plan our projects, making sure to have the correct materials,
the right timing, and the technical knowledge. Due to this pressure to
produce great art, many of us who do not consider ourselves artists,
poets, or actors; refrain from engaging in these activities at all.
But,
What if we embraced creative projects for their learning potential?
What if we gave up on the need to be technically correct or to produce
anything of value?
What if we lived in the moment?

Group 02: Article 2 Art stimulates both those who make it and those who witness it. Creating, imagining
and witnessing all instill you with a new sensibility about how you experience yourself in the world
Group 03: Article 2 ...describes flow as a state of being totally absorbed in an activity. There is no
preoccupation with outcomes or worries about failing. The past and future do not exist. One often loses track of
time and space. A person in this flow state is working intuitively, and it often seems as if the poem writes itself
or the painting just appears.
Group 04: Article 3 Many adolescents are overwhelmed and underprepared when faced with emotions.
Group 05: Article 3 Emotional intelligence is defined by Salovey and Mayer (1990) as "the subset of social
intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others feelings and emotions, to discriminate
among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions
