If they want and are able to draw/paint/sculpt on their own then that’s fantastic. I would love to see pictures of what they create and will provide them with feedback to further develop their art. They can take photos and send them to me at [email protected]. ​

For some students being able to create whatever they want with no guidelines is overwhelming, or some students do not have access to art supplies. The calendar below should be helpful for students who are feeling stuck on what to do or who do not have art supplies. If you do not have art supplies then creative activities like cooking/creative writing/observing and talking about art or are all great alternatives.
