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 explored findings in neuroscience and psychology related to creativity, and also highlighted the habits of creative thinkers. These habits included:

* Imaginative Play * DayDreaming * *Openness to Experience *

*Mindfulness * Intuition* Thinking Differently*

Standards-based environments don’t always have time to explore these habits. Recess Art’s goal is to give students the opportunity to explore these habits in a screen-free space that highlights acceptance and risk-taking.
