Corporate Creative Wellness

 

Research continues to prove that practicing art helps you solve problems by expanding your mind and opening you to different perspectives and creative solutions. In a proffesional and personal capacity, creating art can inspire you to bring new ideas to the table, challenge the status quo, and suggest different ways of doing things. 

 

How? Practicing art rewires and opens up the brain in a way that takes thinking and problem solving capabilities to a much higher level. Students can find that they become more intuitive about how to approach problems, are more flexible in finding different ways of looking at them, and much more playful and effective in how they approach challenges.

 

Additionally, the cost of Workplace Stress is having a major impact on Australian Business, not just in lost productivity but also in lost opportunity. Workplace stress alone is costing the Australian economy $14.81 billion a year, this equates to over $830 per employee per annum.

 

Art-based activities can be used strategically to create safety, build trust, find shared values, and shift perceptions. Combining right-brain imagination with left-brain logic and analysis increases the capacity for breakthrough ideas and insights that lead to success. Drawing or painting images illustrates how differently we see things, and helps us appreciate that many points of view contribute to the whole.

 

With the above information in mind Julianne Holland, artist, teacher and owner of Aphrodite Art School has developed ‘Corporate Creative Wellness’ with the knowledge and understanding that creative workshops, retreats, and ongoing creative practices are an integral piece of the puzzle for companies to foster a healthy and productive workforce.
