Creativity is Free and so are these Resources
In a time of great uncertainty, we have seen a wave of creativity spread over households that are now in the midst of homeschooling, staying in as families or individuals who need an outlet during this time. While it’s not always easy to tap into those creative vibes there are a great number of resources that have launched for free or for a limited time only that you can passively watch, take notes on or collaborate with in a new creative endeavor.
Here is our run-down of some of the resources you can use and share.

University Courses
In addition to self learning which you can also do through Universities on the likes of Coursera, Class Central and EdX, there are many schools and Universities that have published content without it being behind a pay wall. Take one of Yale’s highly popular courses The Science of Well-Being which is also being offered for free.
Arts and Theater
Not wanting to create art – but still want to support the arts in this time? You can become a patron on their website or simply show your support by visiting their website, and streaming content.
The Met which had to cancel many of their upcoming performances has started streaming Encore presentations that you can watch, like and share here.
There are also various art museums and art institutions offering 360 virtual museum experiences, daily art challenges or other creative resources for classroom teachers, home-school educators, families and children to take part in such as Denver Art Museum’s creativity center. Simply check out your local museum websites or take a day to explore what is going on in the cities not near you. It can be a great time to learn from each other while sharing in something together.
In addition to these great resources, many gyms are offering free online classes to keep your health and well-being up during a time where it can be hard to remain active. So continue to hang in there and feel free to share anything you have found helpful in the comments below!
