As well as being an Artist I am also a Creative Facilitator who works with business teams to improve creative thinking. And right now I’m also a (reluctant) Home Schooler to my two daughters who are 5 & 7.
When the schools closed due to Covid-19, I started @creativedailydose to share a creative idea a day with friends, colleagues and my local community in south east London, in the belief that creativity is a powerful force for good in frightening times like these.
Every weekday I post on Instagram @creativedailydose, and on LinkedIn, a suggestion for a fun activity to help us all flex our creative muscles during these difficult times.
Strong creative skills are essential in times of change. They help with adaptability by developing our ability to think on our feet and improvise. Creative skills are key to resilience as they encourage us to look for new possibilities. They lighten the load as they remind us to remain playful. And they soothe us as we enjoy the mindfulness that comes from being absorbed in a creative task.
These ideas are suggestions for children and adults alike.
