Where Art Becomes Your Voice

Chocolate Doodles empowers young people through creative communication by combining art therapy, storytelling, and animation while bringing their own visual story to life.

Three Ways to Create

Every young person has a story. We give them the tools to tell it.

Art Therapy

Introduces the power of art by enhancing skills in painting, drawing, and mixed media as a therapeutic outlet. Young people will explore emotions, build confidence, and discover their unique visual language in a safe, supportive environment.

Storytelling

From personal narratives to imaginative tales, participants learn to craft and share stories that reflect their experiences, perspectives, and dreams through the power of visual storytelling.

Animation

Bringing drawings to life through stop-motion and digital animation, youth create their own animated shorts and visual narratives.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others feel.
