'ART with a Purpose' for At-Risk populations
What is the curriculum?
It is our intention in this curriculum to reveal the power of art in expressing thoughts and feeling when words are not available.
The lessons are in no way to be considered art therapy and are used only to reflect the students thoughts and emotions.

2.) Now and Future (Where are you now and where do you want to be)
3.) Positive and Negative Thoughts (Capture negative thoughts before they impact)

AWAP Workbook
AWAP Workbook
The curriculum comes with a workbook that is in a lesson plan format and covers the National Standards of
Visual Arts.
All curriculums are designed specific to each organization.
No two programs are alike.
We come in and train a facilitator who will carry on the art lessons once we have established the curriculum.
WHO does YOUR DONATION help?
Our Impact
AWAP has had 3 pilot studies done,
(Girls with eating disorders, Veterans of Foreign Wars and one on Diversity).
All proved that art is a powerful tool
to transform lives.
In today’s uncertain world we must help the
“AT-RISK” population to share their thoughts and feelings in order to feel seen, heard and VALUED.
And what better way than the creative process?
This picture is from a student/patient/client who titled this art piece “I'm falling, DON'T catch me".
This is a poignant cry for help!
We work with Veterans
We offer a wide range of programs for many
different populations:
(Schools, rehabilitation centers, organizations,
families and individuals).
NOW we are working at Vets Recover in Mobile, AL.
We work with homeless women and children
