Creating Time for Creating Art

In this episode of Art Ed Radio, host Tim Bogatz is joined by returning guest Sarah Krajewski, a self-described "multipotentialite" and all-around amazing educator. Sarah talks about how art helps her connect to her own sense of purpose and joy, and the benefits that come with consistent artmaking. She shares her concept of "joy sketches" as an accessible, low-pressure way for any teacher to keep making art, even on the busiest or most exhausting of days. Tim and Sarah also dig into the real barriers that get between art teachers and their own creativity: not just time, but energy. Sarah offers practical, encouraging strategies--from keeping art supplies visible and within reach to hosting "coexisting craft nights" with friends--that make creative habits easier to start and sustain.
