LESSON SEL
PLAN
Developed with Cheryl Miehl, Dumfries, Virginia
AI.1
The student will apply creative
thinking to original artistic
works.
AI.2
The student will identify and
apply steps of a creative
process to develop ideas and
artwork.
AI.12

apply elements of art and prin-
ciples of design to communi-
cate meaning in works of art.
AI.15
The student will exercise
increasing skill and control in
the use of media and tech-
niques.
AI.16

two-dimensional, three-
dimensional, and contempo-
rary media to create works of
art.
Objectives
Students will…
• Practice relaxation through art
• Experience a creative process that focuses on the artist’s use
of intuitive response to develop the imagery
• Create art using simple supplies and, if additional supplies
are available, expand the project
Neurographic Art was designed and formalized in
2014 by Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev. Pavel
defined Neurographic Art as a creative method for
world transformation. It helps evolve our reality by
engaging our emotional and aesthetic intelligence for
discovering solutions to a variety of issues you may be
working through.
Pavel believed that creative processes engage
additional neurons making new connections and that
those connections create energy. He thought that act
of being creative enhanced your ability to focus on
and acquire new skills, improved decision making, and
increased information retention—in all areas of your life.
There are courses in Neurographic Art that teach the
formal aspects of it. This lesson plan has not been
created by a formally trained teacher, but follows the
principles and has been adapted to a more simplistic
and meditative practice that is highly relaxing and
nourishing to your creative spirit.
intuitive
• Once your materials and supplies are set
up in front of you, take a moment to
relax your body, quiet your mind, and
take a couple of deep breaths.
• The first step in Neurographic Art is
the intuitive scribble. Using your fine
Sharpie® marker, scribble on the page.
Connect the ends of the scribble to the
edges of the paper. There is no right or
wrong in this process.
• Begin adding in Neurographic lines across
your page. There are only two rules for add
Neurographic lines:
1. They are conscious in thought
and do not follow a repeated
pattern/design.
2. They should begin and end on
an edge of the paper. They may
run through your scribble, around it,
or over it. Keep adding in lines until
the space feels weighted, but not full.
• Then, choose one simple geometric shape
(circle, oval, triangle, rectangle or
square) to layer over your design. Add
as many of the shape as you would like, integrate the
but stick to one single shape — do not
mix them up.
• Now you want to integrate the lines and
shapes. This is done by rounding out
any place where two lines meet or inter-
sect. You will draw a ¼ circle that curves
toward the intersection.
• Next, add any additional lines, shapes, or
divisions of space you feel are needed
for the image to feel whole.
Be sure to go back and curve out
new intersections!
• The final step Neurographic Art is to apply apply
color. Again, there are no hard rules,
but a general guideline is to repeat your
colors throughout the sections. You can
use any media you like and apply it with
any technique you prefer. It may be fun
to use water-based markers to outline
shapes and then run a paintbrush with
water over it causing the markers to
bleed into the entire space.
