Improving the Graphic Creativity Levels of Latin American High School Students Currently Living in Spain by Means of a Mindfulness Program

In this study we will analyze the impact of a mindfulness program upon the graphic creativity levels of a group of Latin American teenagers currently living in Spain. To do so, we analyzed an experimental group of Latin American teenagers who took part in the mindfulness training program, and a control group who did not take part in it. The levels of graphic creativity of both groups were evaluated by means of the Torrance Thinking Test of the Graphic Battery. The statistical study showed how the levels of fluency and originality have significantly increased if compared with the levels of the control group. The results of this research prove the usefulness of mindfulness techniques as useful and effective strategies for graphic creativity improvement, and may become an empiric support so as to incorporate and use them within the educational environment.
