Coping skills for students

Drawing & Art Making - A kid-tested chill skill

Hello AIS Friends!

Drawing is a kid-tested coping and calming skill proven to help you to deal with worries, anxiety, anger and boredom. Drawing and art-making can play an essential role in your emotional wellbeing. You can work out problems, shift from a disappointing situation to an imaginary world, or chill-out. Drawing can be especially helpful when you can't find the words to label your feelings. Art-making gives you social-emotional tools for self-expression, reflection and creative thinking.

We've selected some Disney and Pixar cartoon drawing video clips that might be just what you are looking to inspire you to draw. The Pixar and Disney animation artists and Rob Hub have designed lessons to give beginners the tools to create their favourite movie characters. The teaching is a kid-tested, step-by-step method that will inspire and delight you. For avid cartoon artists, there are the DRAWING CHALLENGE CARTOONS FROM MEMORY video.

Remember: “You’ll never be bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do!” – Dr. Seuss
