My Chosen Family

Students can use this creativity page to explore the terms "chosen family" and "sanctuary" and create a piece of visual art that reflects their thoughts and emotions. This creativity page aligns with the National Arts Standards: Creating, Responding, Connecting.

The prompt for this handout is as follows:
 "Consider your chosen family—the people in your life who make you feel heard, seen and loved. How does that chosen family support each other? How do they provide sanctuary for you when needed? Use the space below to draw your chosen family and all of the elements of that family that uplift and comfort you. You may choose to share that photo with someone or keep it to yourself to reference whenever you need a reminder that your chosen family is always there for you."
