In 2016, Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire published a book titled, Wired to Create Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind. In this book, the authors not only explored findings in neuroscience and psychology related to creativity, but also highlighted the habits of creative thinkers which included:

Imaginative Play * DayDreaming * Openness to Experience * Mindfulness *

*Intuition * Thinking Differently*

In standards-based curriculum environments, there isn’t always time to explore these habits. Recess Art’s goal in designing simple, open-to-all projects, is to give students the chance to explore these life-long creative habits in a tech-free, non-competitive environment.
