Join: The Big Draw ‘Drawing as Stimming’
Sam and Sian: Drawing as Stimming
Drawing as Stimming for The Big Draw looks to create a time where stimming can happen, through drawing digitally and in response to stimuli internal to and external to the body. It seeks to explore how drawing and mark-making can support non-verbal communication and exploration, whilst also providing space to stim.
Easy-Read Postcards
We have produced Drawing as Stimming postcards to prompt and encourage exploration of movement and mark making. Our bright and bold easy-read postcards have an audio version available that is linked here: https://www.videoask.com/f9escx18q
We’ve also produced a version of postcards with tactile shapes to reflect how you might approach marks you make, turning the paper and moving your body. If you are interested in a physical copy for yourself or groups you work with, do email Sam at sammetz@outlook.com
We are sure that the results in your drawing will be beautiful and interesting!
Do feel free to share them with us, or if you would like a postcard pack for your own sessions, email Sam at sammetz@outlook.com
