Creating Through Covid-19 - Week 1
Hello my dear Art Friends!!!
Each week I will be bringing you some art activities you can do from the comfort of your own home. I will post a sketchbook prompt for the week, an art "project" idea or two, and a virtual art experience of some sort. Check out whatever interests you and please share whatever art you are making from home on the new Lions Creating Through Covid-19 Seesaw course (see more info on that below) or tag me on Instagram @LionsCreate.

SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE #1: SPRING
If you haven't noticed, it is officially Spring! Create a piece of artwork this week inspired by Spring in some way. Go outside and draw the buds on trees or some early spring flowers. Draw the rain from your window or anything else that reminds you of spring. Post your drawings on Seesaw or Instagram!
ART AT HOME #1: ARRANGEMENT
Make a visually interesting image by arranging objets by attributes like color, shape, and or size. Collect (curate) and arrange objects in a visually interesting way. Photograph favorite your arrangement and share it out.
