How to Use the Project Cards
The Project Cards are designed to help you engage deeply with the Inquiry Threads, offering both structure and space. Each thread contains six projects that explore different media and approaches — such as printmaking, montage, sculpture, and installation — all grounded in the central theme.
Rather than following a strict curriculum, the cards act as flexible anchors. You can follow all six projects in sequence to build a sustained body of work, or select one that resonates as a starting point. Each project stands alone but when used together, they create a layered and reflective creative journey.
These projects are not instructions. They’re invitations.
Navigating the Project Cards
Start with an Inquiry Thread
Start with one of the three overarching themes:
Identity + Self, Archetypes + Collective Narratives, or Transformation + Vision.
These are the big ideas that anchor the creative journey, offering meaningful entry points whilst allowing room for intuition, curiosity, and personal direction.
Choose Your Entry Point
Each theme includes Inquiry Threads — like The Inner + Outer Worlds, Our Shared Stories, or Reimagining Our Future — that explores key ideas through a connected series of creative projects.
Each project is framed by a guiding question, designed to spark curiosity and support artistic investigation. These questions invite exploration, not answers, encouraging personal responses through making, reflection, and experimentation.
You can move through the projects in sequence or begin wherever inspiration strikes. The threads are designed to be flexible, layered, and intuitive, allowing you to engage in ways that feel relevant and meaningful to your practice or classroom.
Integrate Skills + Insight Cards
Each project is supported by optional resources that nurture both the how and the why of making art.
Skills Cards build technical fluency whilst also supporting creative confidence, visual literacy, and an attuned way of seeing.
Insight Cards offer reflective, symbolic, and Jungian-inspired psychological perspectives, deepening your understanding of how art can mirror the inner world.
Use them as needed to support personal growth, classroom connections, or to unlock new directions in your practice.
Adapt to Your Pace + Practice
Whether you’re diving into a short creative burst or unfolding a long-form exploration, the projects are designed to meet you where you are.
Each one offers structure and support, but always leaves space for experimentation, intuition, and personal meaning. You’re invited to follow the rhythm that feels right, trusting the process to reveal what’s needed as you go.
Inquiry Threads
Each thread invites a different lens on personal and collective experience — rooted in time, symbol, and transformation. Whilst all three naturally overlap, you may find that:
Thread 1 focuses on the present
The world you inhabit now and how you move through it.
Thread 2 draws from the past
The stories, archetypes, and histories that shape belonging.
Thread 3 looks towards the future
Reimagining what could be through vision, change, and possibility.
- Thread 1
Identity & Self
Inquiry Thread 1
Identity & Self — 'The Inner & Outer Worlds'
Guiding Question: How do personal experiences, environments, and perspectives shape our sense of self, and how can we express that creatively?
Read more
Developing your visual language through personal exploration.
This thread offers six distinct projects that help you discover how to express your inner world visually. Through photography, collage, painting, printmaking and sculpture, you’ll explore identity in its many layers: symbolic, emotional, physical, and cultural.
Each project is structured to build confidence with materials and techniques, whilst gently guiding you towards a more intuitive understanding of your own visual voice. In the process of making, you’ll come to see that identity and image are deeply connected and that discovering your language is also a way of discovering yourself.
Inquiry Thread 2
Archetypes & Collective Narratives — 'Our Shared Stories'
Guiding Question: How do universal stories, myths, and archetypes shape personal expression, identity, and collective belonging?
Read more
Building one layered work that explores collective memory, symbolic history, and ancestral connection.
This thread invites you to explore another dimension of yourself, not through self-portraiture, but through symbol, culture, and the collective stories that shape us. You’ll begin with a meaningful image or object from a cultural archive or ancestral connection and gradually transform it through six projects.
Each stage builds on the last: layering collage, drawing, text, and form into a single evolving work. This isn’t about illustrating heritage but about listening to what history and memory stir in you.
Whether you explore your own lineage or respectfully engage with another culture’s objects and imagery, this process asks you to reflect on the richness and complexity of what we inherit and how it shapes what we create.
Inquiry Thread 3
Transformation & Vision — 'Reimagining Our Future’'
Guiding Question: How can art help us reimagine our relationship with the natural world and shape a more regenerative, compassionate future?
Read more
Creating a body of work that honours nature and invites collective healing through beauty, intention, and presence.
This thread focuses on our relationship with the natural world: not through images of destruction, but through deep appreciation. Each of the six connected projects guides you to observe, respond to, and eventually return your work to the world as a symbolic gesture.
You’ll begin by researching and visioning, then move through drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and abstraction, creating forms that emerge from your dialogue with nature.
Rather than illustrating crises, this thread channels energy into beauty, wonder, and possibility. By tuning into the intelligence of the natural world, you’ll create with care and offer something meaningful back.
This is not about finishing, it’s about listening. And by listening, we begin to heal.
Skills Cards
The Skills Cards support both technique and mindset, offering guidance on composition, mark-making, perspective, printmaking, and more.
But they go beyond materials. These cards also explore the development of an artistic mindset: finding meaning, trusting intuition, and unlocking creative flow.
Rooted in both studio practice and psychological insight, they’re designed to help you grow not just as a maker, but as an artist.
Insight Cards
The Insight Cards explore art as a tool for self-understanding, drawing on symbolism, psychology, and visual analysis through a Jungian-informed lens.
Each card introduces a core concept, such as authenticity, the embodied image, or co-creation, paired with a carefully chosen artwork for close looking and reflection.
Designed to support intuitive, reflective practice, these cards help deepen inquiry and connect inner experience with visual expression.
