Abstract
In this paper the author analyzes the dynamics of stress management and creativity inherent in creative art, based on his experience as a professional educator. The author looks at this in detail from the following three perspectives: the art of creation, the science of relaxation, and the expression of one's internal view of the world. In today's society, children must overcome a wide variety of stress in their everyday life, making stress management an essential life skill. This paper, therefore, also focuses on the role which creative art can play in molding the hearts and minds of children to better deal with stress.
