The Art of Holding Space moves beyond traditional classroom management to explore how restorative practices can transform the art room into a site of healing and mutual respect. Explore relationship-first teaching as presenters offer frameworks to help educators foster belonging, navigate conflict through creativity, and build resilient studio communities.
Participants will explore:
-The Restorative Mindset: Shifting from punitive discipline to a culture of collective care and accountability.
-Practical Strategies: Tools for facilitating restorative conversations within a busy art room.
-Creativity as Connection: How artmaking itself can serve as a bridge for reconciliation and emotional processing.
