Play is Serious Business

October 17, 2015 by riasharon

Untitled design-2 “Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them.” ~ Kenneth R. Ginsburg, MD, MSEd, and the Committee on Communications, and the Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics

I propose that this goes for children of any age!

Personally, I feel more imaginative and emotionally resilient with my daily art practice. Dexterity I’ll attribute to yoga. 🙂

These sketches are just a few of the wondrous, amazing, playful projects from my students in Sketchbook Magic. Clockwise from top left: @nicolerpeery @samsalenger @bywaycreative @danutzi

Obviously…

Play allows someone to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that we engage and interact in the world around them.

A little about me

I have an undergraduate degree in art. By day, I work in higher ed and in my free time I'm currently putting myself through DIY grad school.

I teach classes on creativity and inspiration on Skillshare. I occasionally share my original paintings on Etsy and fine art prints on Minted. I've also been known to make puppy portraits.
