Children need a safe way to explore their emotions, especially neurodivergent children who are oftentimes isolated from society. Art-based projects have been shown to help children grow emotionally.. We aim to explore a different way in which these children can grow and learn and believe the research that access to this resource will benefit these children. Our goal is to reach as many children as possible without limits and allow them to express themselves through their art. Some of the key technologies that we use are AI chatting, image generation, and drawing tutorials. The AI chat is designed to guide and encourage the students in their creative endeavors. The image generator allows for the children to express their current emotions with a picture that matches what they are feeling. Lastly, the drawing tutorials allow them to follow guided instructions for creating their own works of art. With research supporting art as therapy for neurodivergent children we decided to experiment the real life effects of our app on actual users. Through the anecdotes and feedback of the users we were able to improve parts of the app and see how effective it was at facilitating creativity. With these results it is clear that the effects of art on neurodivergent individuals are positive and help them grow emotionally.
