Art Therapy: Drawing Exercises for Calm and Clarity
This resource includes 10 thoughtful art prompts designed to help students (or adults!) destress, identify emotions, and find calm through creative expression. Each prompt encourages self-reflection through drawing and color, using simple tools like watercolor, markers, or colored pencils.
 
These exercises are perfect for classroom breaks, homeschool wellness activities, art therapy sessions, or anytime emotional regulation is needed. Each prompt includes a “Why it works” section to explain the calming benefits of the activity.
 
Help your students process emotions, ease anxiety, and rediscover focus—one line, color, and circle at a time.
