530.756.4100This is a question that I ask myself every summer. I evaluate what is
important and what is not important. “What do I need less and more of in
my life?” A simple question, but as many simple questions are, the answer
may be profound and will often lead to deep insights. For example, my
answer to this question last summer caused me to start a more serious
exercise routine that now has become a twice-weekly ritual.
Take a moment, really One of the things I yearn for is less screen time. The seemingly
stop everything you are ever-present pressure to respond quickly to emails and texts, or merely
doing and ask yourself being entertained by an endless stream of videos, never ceases. The
average American spends over 7 hours per day looking at a screen. Even if
what do you yearn for?
you just take a peek at the text or email but don’t respond, there is an
impact! According to a University of California-Irvine study, regaining our
initial momentum following an interruption can take between 10 and 20
minutes. It will take a conscious effort to break this cycle! Davis Arts
Center offers a respite from this technological onslaught. Most of our
classes are tech-free with an emphasis on using your hands and moving
your body to express yourselves and make things.
WELCOME
Also, imagine the sense of accomplishment either you or your child will feel
after making something. I still derive confidence and self esteem from
both a poem I wrote in a writing class and a clay vessel I built here at Davis
Arts Center. I do not remember ever having that sense of accomplishment
after responding to a text!
I know many parents who also want their children to escape being tethered
to the screen this summer. Teaching your children that there are fun and
interesting activities that are screen-free is what many of our classes,
workshops and mini-camps provide! This is not to say we are luddites; we
see the value of technology! We provide free wi-fi to our patrons and do
have a few classes that rely on the creative potential that technology
offers.

challenge yourself to a puzzle in the catalog. For even more fun, ask your
child to join!
