An integrated educational and psychological art workshop titled “Il Disegno del Respiro” or “Drawing with Breath” was organized in the Italian city of Naples on Tuesday. This workshop is a unique artistic experience; drawing becomes a natural and spontaneous process just like breathing, allowing participants to express themselves with colors and lines that harmonize with the rhythm of their breath.
Among the prominent activities is “Pittura del Respiro” or “Painting through Breath,” where participants connect the movement of their hand with their breathing, transforming inhalation and exhalation into color and line that reflect their inner world. This activity, especially for students and immigrants, symbolizes “calm and freedom,” and provides an opportunity to release emotions and embody dreams with complete tranquility.
In addition to the artistic aspect, the workshop aims to teach the Italian language in an interactive way; participants learn the names of colors and artistic tools, and at the end of the workshop, each participant presents their artwork and explains their dreams in Italian, making art a “linguistic bridge” that helps with confident communication and social integration.
