Mind Map Your Lifeline of Art Experiences

What brought you to this moment? What was the spark that ignited your creative spirit? What are the key events that gave you the courage to come to the world of Arts Education—and where do you want it to lead?

In your sketchbook or on this page, draw a map that leads you here.

Use branches, symbols, words, and drawings.

Remember: This is a fun project—dig deep, play with images, and explore your creative fire.

Reflection Prompts: • Which moment made you keep going despite doubt? • Who believed in you first, and what did they do? • What practice or ritual keeps your creative flame alive? • Name one “failure” that later became an important lesson. • Where do you want your arts practice to be in 5 years?

Here is an example.
