Finding Kindness in Marks Made by Artists

As part of the Kindness and Curiosity Art Week 2026, we have created this resource to help learners discover narratives of kindness through artworks.

Alongside exploring acts of kindness, this resource builds on the Finding Marks Through Drawings Made by Artists resource, helping learners expand their mark-making vocabulary through a range of lines, colours, and shapes, which they can refer to when experimenting with their own drawing and painting.

This activity can be used with learners aged 5 and upwards, whilst the themes and artworks explored can also be adapted for older learners.
