Description

Using Visual Arts Practices to Support Emotional Equilibrium in the Classroom: In this interactive workshop, educators will explore simple yet powerful visual arts practices that support emotional regulation and student well-being. Techniques such as neurographic art, mindful doodling, slow drawing, mandala drawing, and color exploration help students manage stress, improve focus, and engage more deeply in learning. As Dr. Lori Desautels, a leader in brain-based education, explains, “When students are regulated, they learn better,” and these practices offer practical strategies for achieving just that.

Triada Samaras, an accomplished arts educator and visual artist, will demonstrate methods that teachers can easily integrate into any grade or subject area. These techniques align with New Jersey’s Social and Emotional Learning Standards and can be implemented with minimal time and resources, helping teachers create a balanced, supportive classroom environment where all students can thrive.

Target Audience: K-12 Teachers Aligned Standards: New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Visual and Performing Arts and New Jersey and New Jersey Social and Emotional Learning Standards/SEL 1-5
