Creative Mondays at CC\u2019s innovation space is a creative escape from the fast-paced days on the Block Plan.<\/p>\n

Jane Hilberry, professor of creativity and innovation, says, \u201cWe wanted to give the students a break from the scheduled days and expectations, and give them a space where they could be creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concept, which has been happening for about a year, was inspired by the class The Moving Line. The class looks to create a space to nourish the creative spirit. CC\u2019s program, Creativity & Innovation at CC, has been working to create new spaces inside and outside the classroom that break away from the educational norm.<\/p>\n

On a recent Monday, the space \u2013 a remodeled house on Weber Street \u2013 was full of students chatting and focusing on creating with a vast array of supplies. Many of the students come weekly, often bringing friends to experience creativity as a break from their busy lives.<\/p>\n

This space is open to all, including the preschoolers from the on-campus Schlessman Bennett\u00a0Children’s Center. It was a happy accident that the young children started to attend Creative Mondays; initially, they were drawn over by a snow cone truck at a Creativity & Innovation open house event; they have been attending ever since. This offers an opportunity for CC students to work with some of the most creative people: young kids.<\/p>\n

The Creative Mondays program plans to continue allowing students to have a space to be creative and connect over the arts. The innovation program continues to integrate creativity into other classes such as creative writing, and also brings in faculty who contribute a focus on creativity in the classroom. Creative Mondays, open to anyone on campus, is a space where everyone can feel creative without judgement or assignment, and maybe start to feel creative, just like being a kid again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
