ABSTRACT:
A creativity center includes a base portion that is connected by a hinge to a board that has opposed drawing/design surfaces on which artistic designs and markings can be made. The board can rotate with respect to the base via the hinge and can be slid with respect to the hinge such that the board can be repeatedly flipped over and slid between two opposed "use" positions with respect to the base. Thus, an opposed drawing/design surface configured in a "use" position is presented to a user each time the board is flipped over. An eraser can be located on either the base or on the hinge to automatically remove designs or markings located on the board when the board is slid through the hinge. In addition, the base can include a storage compartment for storing art supplies.
