Our signature 5-step system makes interpretation simple, safe and accessible:


  • D - Dive Within

    Learn how to stay neutral and grounded so your own emotions or assumptions don’t influence how you read a child’s drawing.

  • R - Refine Your View

    Learn to observe the child and their drawing with clear, neutral attention before interpreting anything.

  • A - Analyze

    Study the lines, colors, shapes and dynamics of the drawing to understand what’s actually present before exploring meaning.

  • W - Watch for Symbols

    Explore the symbolic elements in a drawing - figures, colors, objects and shapes - while holding space for the child’s personal meaning.

  • N - Notice the Whole Picture

    See the full picture by integrating all layers with openness and curiosity.

This method can be applied across cultures and drawing styles, 

while always considering the individual child and context.
