OUR CURRICULUM APPROACH

Drawn Together Kids programs combine structured art education with creative exploration and social-emotional learning.

Each program integrates

• Artist studies and art history
• Observational drawing and nature study
• Structured skill-building in materials and techniques
• Guided creative application and personal expression

Nature Observation

Lessons focused on observing natural forms, textures, and colors using mixed media and guided drawing exercises.

Lessons are designed to build artistic confidence while helping students develop observation skills, creative thinking, and emotional awareness. Programs align with social-emotional learning (SEL) goals commonly supported in elementary enrichment programs.

PROCESS-LED YOUTH PROGRAMMING

Emphasis on process over product, sensory engagement, and emotional interpretation.

WELLNESS AND ART INTEGRATION

Youth and Adult Programs

Co-developed programming framework in collaboration with Empower Soul Path (ESP), integrating guided art-making, breathwork, reflective practice, and foundational color theory.
