The Joy of Creating Community
Since 2018, The Joy of Drawing has been dedicated to bringing the art of drawing to communities of all ages and backgrounds, thus introducing them and giving them access to the therapeutic benefits of learning to draw.
Our goals are mainly accomplished through our self published books, instructional videos and our proprietary lessons and workshops which we deliver both online and in person. These materials and lessons are designed for use by both traditional and digital artists of all levels.
Making Drawing
Accessible To All
With your support we can continue providing drawing experiences to those most in need.
We strongly believe that everyone should have access to the benefits of drawing and with your help we can continue making progress in this goal.
Our Team
Caroline Mustard
Educational Director
“We believe that drawing is an activity anyone can enjoy and a skill that anyone can master; demonstrated through our teaching books, activities and community events. The ‘Joy of Drawing’ approach not only teaches the skills of drawing like line, perspective and proportion but we also facilitate that creative connection that many of us are seeking."
Katy Lea
Executive Director
“We build students’ confidences by guiding them step by step - right from the very beginning in a safe and inclusive space. We stress the importance of the therapeutic value of creating art, similar to the social-emotional learning based model that many teachers adopt- we endeavor to empower individuals to embrace lifelong learning that is critically important for strengthening cognitive health.”
