Draw it Out
Using Art to Heal
About the Programme
Welcome to Draw it Out - a therapeutic art programme designed to help students destress and express themselves through the power of art. As students navigate through the complexities of their daily lives, they often encounter a range of stressors that can affect their mental health and well-being. Our programme is designed to provide a safe space for students to explore their thoughts and feelings through various art forms.
Through this programme, students will have the opportunity to participate in a range of art activities such as drawing, doodling, collaging, journaling and colouring.We believe that art is a powerful tool for healing and growth, and our programme is designed to help students develop coping mechanisms and enhance their emotional regulation skills. By drawing out their thoughts and feelings, students can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, leading to increased self-awareness and resilience.
We are excited to offer Draw it Out to schools as a way to support the mental health and well-being of their students. Our programme is designed to be flexible and adaptable, and we work closely with schools to develop a customised programme that meets their specific needs. With Draw it Out, students can find their voice and express themselves creatively, while building important life skills that will support them well beyond the classroom.
The Art of Motivation Inc. does not offer Art-Therapy services, we instead guide persons to use art as self care therapy (self-help therapy). Self care is emotional, physical and psychological care offer to you by you.
Our experienced art mentor/coach and Psychological First Aide (PSA), will work with the Guidance Counsellor to guide and support students through these activities, helping them to explore their emotions and express themselves in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. For students who need additional support these students are referred for professional help. We have a Psychologist on our team, that will provide support as is possible. If our participants need additional care that child is revered to a trained Psychologist or Art Therapist for support.
The programme is designed to guide and support participants in using art to help them to express themselves so that they can show up as their most authentic way.

A Word from Your Instructor
With over 20 years of experience as an ICT professional and more than 12 years as an artist and CEO of The Art of Motivation Inc. Limited, I have successfully managed results-driven teams and projects against all odds. Throughout my career, I have implemented projects of national impact across various government arms and the private sector.
After leaving my job in 2021 to become a full-time artist and entrepreneur, I navigated significant changes to run an art-based creative business and provided change management support as a business consultant. I am mentally tough, highly driven, and possess deep insights into strategic leadership, team dynamics, and creative solutions.
I look forward to sharing my experiences and strategies with you to help you achieve the success you envision for your team and business.
I look forward to seeing you in the session!
