"Expressing Life Skills Through Art"

Objective:
To creatively represent and explore the concept of life skills through drawing.

Materials Needed:
• Drawing paper or sketchbook
• Drawing pencils, colored pencils, markers, or any other preferred drawing
materials
• Optional: Reference materials or images related to the life skills for inspiration
Instructions:
1. Begin by familiarizing yourself with the concept of life skills. Reflect on the
importance of flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity, and social skills in
various aspects of life.

2. Find a comfortable and quiet space to work on your drawing activity. Gather all the
necessary materials, including drawing paper and your preferred drawing tools.

3. Choose one life skill to focus on for your drawing activity. Consider which skill
resonates with you the most or which one you find particularly interesting.

4. Brainstorm ideas and concepts related to the chosen life skill. Think about how you
interpret the skill and how you can represent it visually through your artwork. You
can sketch out some rough ideas or make notes to help you plan your drawing.

5. Once you have decided on a concept, start creating your drawing. Use your
chosen drawing materials to bring your idea to life on the paper. You can use
symbols, characters, scenes, or any other artistic elements to convey your
interpretation of the life skill.

6. Take your time and enjoy the process of creating your artwork. Don't worry about
making mistakes—this is an opportunity for you to express yourself creatively and
explore your ideas.

7. After you have completed your drawing, take a moment to reflect on your
interpretation of the life skill you chose. Consider how you represented the skill in
your artwork and what message you want to convey to others.
 8. If you're working in a group or pair, take turns sharing your artwork with your peers.
Explain your interpretation of the life skill and how you represented it in your
drawing. Listen to your peers' interpretations and provide feedback and support.

9. Finally, take pride in your artwork and the effort you put into expressing your ideas
through drawing. Remember that developing life skills is an ongoing process, and
this activity is just one way to explore and reflect on their importance in your life.
