Every day for the month of January, I’ll send out a creative challenge prompt. This series of challenges will be based on unusual vocabulary words. I’ll send out a word for the day, and you respond. Materials are artist’s choice. You can draw, paint, collage, sculpt your food, anything you want. Just make something!
We need you!
The more people who participate, the more fun it is. Think of it, you are elevating our culture, making it the kind of world we all want to live in, with your dryer lint Mona Lisa.
What’s your goal for January?
Set a goal for what you’d like to do this month. Is it one creative something for the month? Two mashed potato sculptures per week? A lightning fast scribble for all 30 Challenges? Great! Share your goal with an art buddy who will hold you accountable. League students can find a creative buddy and post to our Facebook group. Get your family involved. The more people posting artworks the better! It’s fun to see all of the work online.
Hey perfectionists!
This is not meant to be a masterpiece. It’s a creative exercise, a silly thing. If you make something, no matter how long you spend or how good/bad you think it is, you win. You totally rocked it. All you have to do is make something. Anything. Do it every day, and your creative muscles will get stronger. So lower your expectations, take a deep breath, set the timer for 20 minutes, and see what happens.
Prizes awarded for creativity and participation
