Day 183..

Using colored pencils, turn this oval shape into a bunny face. Add ears, a nose, a mouth, eyes, and whiskers.


Draw an oval on today’s page in your sketchbook. It’s okay if its not perfect, any round shape will work.


Day 24..

These lamps are missing their shades. Draw random objects on the tops of the lamps instead and add color when you’re done. Look at the example for inspiration.

You can redraw these lampstands in your sketch book or feel free to be creative and draw some of your own. If you’d like, print these images from the link below and draw random objects on the top.


MY YEAR OF ART

I am really excited to launch our Year of Art together! This last year has been a struggle for most as we navigate ourselves through a new way of life. It has been the great outdoors and being creative that have helped my artistic soul manage to survive this crazy time. In fact, studies have shown that expressing oneself through art can help with both depression and anxiety. And doing so has been linked to improved memory, reasoning, and resilience in healthy older people. If that is not enough reason to join in on our year of art, I don’t know what is!

We will be following along with a book by Susan Schwake called My Year Of Art. No worries, you don’t need the book to follow along, but you are welcome to buy your own sketch pad or art book to keep all your creative work in. I will also be providing pintables to go along with certain activities that need a little something extra. Some days will call for little supplies, but the majority of them you will find lying around the house. These art activities are for the young and old, so grab your kids to join in the fun too!


Some will take you seconds, while others might take you much longer. Your answers are unique to you and that is what being an artist is all about – showing the world your own view.

AND REMEMBER:

  1. BE BOLD – This is a space to let your ideas run free.
  2. Know that there are NO wrong answers, mistakes, or bad ideas.
  3. Have FUN! Enjoy the time you spend creating your art.
  4. Once you’re done, you’ll have a ONE-OF-A-KIND record of your year.
