CAPSTONE PROJECT

Mindfulness in the Art Room

Discover how integrating mindfulness into your art classroom can nurture empathy, focus, and creative confidence.

Drawing is Life invites educators to explore drawing not just as technique, but as a mindful practice, one that helps students slow down, observe deeply, and express with intention.

In this innovative approach to art education, mindfulness and visual arts intersect to strengthen students’ emotional intelligence and artistic growth.

Through guided drawing exercises, reflective journaling, and structured critique, learners develop both their creative skills and their capacity for awareness and empathy.

The Drawing is Life program offers :

• Mindful drawing warm-ups that center attention and calm

• Reflective critique tools to strengthen oracy and confidence

• Museum-based practices connecting art making to real world observation

• Free educator toolbox with ready-to-use resources, lessons, and prompts
