Resilience Through Art: Building Inner Strength

Welcome the students and introduce the concept of resilience. Emphasize that today they are going to use art to express their inner strength by depicting a personal challenge they have overcome.

What is Resilience?

Explain what resilience means in simple terms. Engage with the students by asking them for examples or moments when they felt strong after overcoming an obstacle.

Personal Challenges & Triumph

Share an example of a personal challenge, possibly a story, to help students connect with the topic. Ask if any volunteers would like to share their experiences later on.

Art Activity: Express Your Resilience

Outline the art activity clearly. Be sure to mention that students will get art supplies and then have time to create their own visual representation of resilience.

Reflection & Sharing

Encourage reflection and sharing. Remind students that this is a safe space to discuss personal growth and that supportive feedback is essential.
