Abstract: Recently, many studies have discussed the importance of meditation and artmaking in the art classroom (Ganley, 2017; Kohler, 2012; Patterson, 2015; Phillips, 2016; Rohloff, 2008). The practice of meditation and artmaking not only promotes the physical health of the body but also develops the inner attitude of self and identity. Often artmaking and meditation are considered as separate phenomena, but they can also be the same depending on the intentions behind them. This article adds to this growing body of research by focusing on the ways in which artmaking is a kind of meditation and on how artmaking and meditation practices can positively affect perceptual, emotional, and mental experience. In particular, the author highlights the the connection between artmaking and meditation by using different mobile mindfulness software applications.
