AccessArt Drawing Prompt Cards

AccessArt drawing prompt cards have been created in collaboration with artists and teachers over the years, to help support drawing and overcome the ‘white page’ and ‘fear of drawing’.

Prompt cards have also been used in the context of drawing CPD for teachers and Drawing for Mindfulness sessions.
Many thanks to artist Betsy Dadd who first introduced us to the idea of drawing in the time it takes to ‘inhale and exhale a breath’, and in the time it takes to ‘blink’.
