Mindful Art Journey: Managing Stress and Perfectionism Through Creativity Insights from Science and Math Gifted Learners
Jooyoug Park
ABSTRACT:
This research explores the intersection of creativity and mental well-being, focusing on managing stress and perfectionism among gifted learners in science and mathematics. Gifted individuals often experience heightened performance pressures, perfectionistic tendencies, and emotional stress. The event will examine how creative practices, particularly in art and design, can serve as therapeutic tools for self-expression and mental resilience.
Through panel discussions, and interactive workshops, participants will investigate the psychological impact of perfectionism on academic and creative pursuits. Case studies of gifted learners will illuminate how structured yet liberating creative methods promote mindfulness, reduce stress, and balance their drive for excellence.
The research aims to foster dialogue among educators, psychologists, and creative professionals, emphasizing the need to integrate artistic practices into gifted education frameworks. By embracing a mindful art journey, we can cultivate holistic growth and well-being in science and math prodigies, inspiring a healthier and more innovative future.
