Art Challenges That'll Spark Your Imagination
Sometimes only a slight push is required to kick-start the artistic energies within us. Let me share some fun prompts that'll make starting a new art project feel effortless.
1. Garbage Mail Collage
Gather your junk mail, glue, and a liquid matte gel medium (it's like an extra-sexy type of glue) and create a collage. This could lead to a beautiful mixed-media masterpiece!
2. Start Small
Facing a blank page can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Start small! Cut your paper in half, or even quarters, and work on a more manageable size. This way, you can get more detailed with a smaller work area and fewer supplies.
3. Art Challenge pack: Series 1 and 2
You love it, and I love it! Grab both challenge packs to enjoy 14 days filled with art-inspired projects. These worksheets cater to a wide age range and are suitable for homeschooling, classroom work, weekends, vacations, or free time.
