DART 135 - Creative Practice for Wellbeing

CR: 3
This course explores the ways in which creative practice can contribute to mental wellness and life satisfaction. We will engage in practices from across artistic disciplines, as well as consider multidisciplinary evidence of the positive effects of physical activity, social engagement, mindfulness, and experiences of “flow” to explore how creative activity fosters a sense of well-being. Participation in creative practices with Sweet Briar faculty and guest artists will give students the chance to experience and reflect on how these practices affect their own subjective sense of well-being. Fulfills the CORE 150 requirement.
