I counted over 70 different values reflected by people’s wildly varied drawings -here’s a sample….

Relationships – love, family, children, friends, partners, hugs, happy home

Activities – walking, cycling, helping others, exercise, dancing, music, skate parks

Personal – health, an anxiety-free head, sleeping, being happy, being warm

Food – fruit, bananas, bread, chicken, coffee, cake

Environment –bees, trees, flowers, gardens, the world, spiders, sunsets,snowy mountains
