The 20 minute goal
Our goal is not a perfect drawing. Our goal is 20 minutes of creative time. After 20 minutes, if you want to keep working on the project you can, but the goal is 20 minutes, and no matter what happens 20 minutes is a win!
Suzanne Walker
Broaden your creative skills

MONDAY: Memory/Imagination
TUESDAY: Observation
WEDNESDAY: See and Respond
THURSDAY: Vocabulary
FRIDAY: Design
SATURDAY: Experimental
SUNDAY: Wild Card

What’s your goal?
Special prizes will be given to people who complete all 30 challenges, but you don’t have to complete them all to participate. Make your own goals! For instance, you can do 3 a week, every weekday, or all 30. Post your goals to social media.
“I’m joining #30SAL this January. Stay tuned! I’m about to unleash my weird and wonderful creativity 30 days in a row.”
Buddy System (Optional)
Find a creative buddy who would like to do the challenge with you. They can be any age, anywhere in the world. Invite them to join you, and make a pact to complete your individual goals. (You and your buddy don’t have to do the same goal.) Post your individual or team pact to facebook or instagram using #30SAL to officially enter the challenge.
“I’m joining #30SAL this January with @buddy’sname. Watch my instagram to see my 5 projects each week!”
