When I visited one of my alma maters recently I saw that they have a space dedicated to taking a short break for art. A wide range of mixed media art materials are all there including cards, pretty papers, scissors, paper punch, ribbon, stamps stickers, glue sticks and various ephemera. The idea is to create a card for a friend or just take a short art break. It is a great visual reminder to slow down and do art. That is exactly what I paused to do in the middle of the academic seminar that I was attending...slow down and do art.
