Sobre este curso
Ever tried drawing with both hands at the same time? It’s not just playful, t’s a powerful tool for emotional release and inner balance!
This class is not about making beautiful art. It’s about making space for release, for stillness, for you.
In this gentle and expressive class, I invite you to explore the therapeutic practice of bilateral drawing ; a technique that uses both hands simultaneously to promote nervous system regulation, emotional balance and inner calm. Through gentle prompts, free movement, and intuitive mark-making, you’ll learn how to use drawing as a tool for self-care and self-expression.
Whether you're anxious, distracted or simply in need of a creative reset, this practice offers you a safe space to explore what’s going on inside no words or art skills required! This class is not about making beautiful art. It’s about making space for release, for stillness, for you.
In this class you will learn:
- How to create your first bilateral drawing with simple, intuitive scribbles
- The brain science behind drawing with both hands and how it supports nervous system regulation
- The role of color, pressure and rhythm in expressing and shifting emotions
- Gentle variations using lines, shapes, symbols and movement
- Creative prompts to build emotional awareness and release tension
This class is for artists and non-artists alike , whether you’re curious about expressive arts, looking for a new mindfulness tool or simply craving a creative release. No fancy supplies, no perfection required, just paper, pens and a willingness to show up.
This is a practice you can return to whenever you need a moment of calm or clarity whether you have 5 minutes or 50.
Let's Begin!
Projeto prático de curso
Your class project is to create a bilateral drawing using any of the approaches we explored in the class. This is your space to slow down, tune in, and let your hands do the talking. There is no need for perfection, just presence.
What to Do:
Begin by choosing a prompt that speaks to where you are today. Maybe it’s the comfort of drawing mirrored circles, the flow of expressive lines or the quiet release of switching colors as your emotions shift. Feel free to mix elements like lines, loops, materials, shapes etc.
Use both hands and let the drawing evolve without a plan. Let the colors change as your feelings shift. Let the rhythm of your lines guide you home to yourself.
This isn’t about what it looks like, it’s about how it feels. So trust your instincts, breathe, and allow the page to become your space to release, reflect and reconnect.
What to Share:
Post a photo of your drawing in the Project Gallery. Feel free to include a few words about:
- Which variation you tried
- What your experience felt like
- Any insights, emotions, or shifts you noticed
This isn’t about the final image, it’s about what the process revealed.
A gentle reminder:
This is a personal practice. Your drawing doesn’t need to look a certain way. What matters most is how it felt. Whether your project is bold and chaotic or soft and subtle, each line is a part of your story.
You showed up and made space for yourself. That alone is something to celebrate.
I can’t wait to see what you create.
