Circle of Hearts Art Project for Cards or Intention Setting

Here is a quick, simple, and easy hearts art project for creating your own inspirational kindness art. This heart art craft project is wonderful for kids or adults.

Creating art is a good way to get out of your head and into your heart.  You can also use this art project to create a card to let someone know how much you care and appreciate them.  This art project can also be used for setting positive intentions for yourself.

The art involves drawing circles of radiating hearts.  The art sample was made using watercolor pencils. The pencils allow you to draw watercolor paint on paper then go back over it with watercolor.   You can use your own medium (pens, paint, pencils, etc.) to complete this art project.

1. Start with the inner circle.  This will create a guide for all the other circles.  In the sample above, I started with the red hearts as the main circle.  I did the mini magnet hearts in reverse later.
2. Next, start adding additional layers of hearts.  The next layer I sketched was the dark orange hearts.  I placed the tip of the orange heart in between the red hearts.
3. I repeated the process letting the hearts get slightly larger until the yellow hearts.
4. To fit in the remaining colors of green through purple, I used smaller hearts.  I also allowed the spacing to become more disorderly.  I added the final inner layer of magenta hearts at this point since it tied in the edge color.
5. After I finished sketching all the hearts, then I used plain water to blend out the color from the pencils creating the image above.  (At the end of this email is a sample of the pre-painted hearts art drawing.)

HEART OF INTENTION OPTIONS:

Make this as a card to give someone, place their name or a word about the relationship like “love” or anniversary date in the center of the circle.

Make this art a circle of intention for yourself.  Write an intention or goal like “create art” or “self-care” in the center of the circle.

Place your name at the center of the circle and write your intentions on the radiating hearts.  Make the ones closest to your name your biggest priority.  When you are pulled by multiple projects, look at the heart and refocus on your most important goals.
