Create at home

CREATE · ART FOR EVERYONE

Looking for a few ideas to get creative yourself? Here are a few ideas to get the whole family engaged.

Take It To The Streets

Try creating your own mini mural at home using sidewalk chalk. If you really want to plan out your drawing, create on paper first and use a ruler to make a grid. Your grid could be 1 inch by 1 inch; this may become 1 foot by 1 foot when you go outside. Measure your large grid on the ground and transfer your drawing square by square. Once your drawing is transferred, begin coloring it in!

What Do You Stand For?

Think of something you feel strongly about, or something you want to say. Consider what symbolism or figures could express this. Try drawing your idea in poster form. Then use modeling clay, play-doh or materials you have available to build your 3D standing figure.

For example, you may be passionate about saving wildlife in our oceans from pollution. A model turtle with a plastic ring around its neck could convey your message. Be creative and think outside the box.
