Art box
This is your space for writing or drawing about your feelings. Or anything you want. Creativity can help you calm down or make sense of things. It doesn’t matter how good you are at art. Anyone can use the Art box to express themselves!
On this Page
What you can do with your art:
- Share it: post your image or poem on the message boards so other people can see it and post comments.
- Delete it: it can feel really good to make something then destroy it, especially if you’re feeling angry.
- Save it privately: if you save it in your locker, only you'll be able to see it.
- Show it to a counsellor: showing your drawing in a 1-2-1 counsellor chat can help express your feelings.
How to use
Edit Change the colour you're using. Use ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’ to move different layers (like an image or a word) to the front or back of your image.
Draw Draw using a line or circle and decide how thick the line is.
Shapes Add shapes to your drawing. Select a colour and whether you want the shape to be solid, or have an outline.
Text Add words to your image. You can write your own text or choose from a list of words.
Pictures Choose a background or an image to go in your drawing.
Happy with your creation? ‘Save’ it to your locker. You can submit it to the public gallery if you want to share it.

staying safe
Anything you save to your locker is confidential between you and Childline.
If you have anything in your locker that makes us worried about you or someone else’s safety, we'll send you a message asking you to think about talking to a Childline counsellor.
In some cases we may need to find ways to get help to you. This is only if we’re very worried about your safety.
