Visual Artist John Donato

Visual artist John Donato has developed a therapeutic program called “Doodley Brain” that addresses mental health, depression and anxiety. This work is based on an emerging art form called neurographic art which alleviates anxiety and depression. Starting with doodling, students focus on the sensory experience John calls “delights” and create individual works of art. The medium is pastels and this work aligns with Delaware DOE Social Emotional Learning competency areas. This is a whole-school initiative and every student’s work is featured in a digital gallery playlist.
