We worked with the DMDL design department at NYU Steinhardt, Brooklyn to inspire creativity in graduate students and teachers through participatory art. Over few visits we created whiteboard murals that inspired participation of various kinds--written reflections, drawing basic geometrical forms using tape and doodling with pens to fill in forms.  Through this process we managed to create ideas of creative disruption among students who were afraid to take risks. Those students who didn't participate claimed that they enjoyed seeing the process which helped them "lighten their minds"..
