Are you wishing for a change of scenery or thinking about traveling to new places? Let your imagination take a trip by making a #landscapecollage Cut out photos of different places and piece them together to create a new destination. Remember to consider the foreground middle ground and background. Don’t be afraid to get silly or unrealistic!

Do what you can with what you’ve got! We made a bunch of mini paintings on a cut up Cheerios box. And painting in the sunshine is always good for your peace of mind!

I’m glad that so many young artists are getting outside and finding the beauty in nature. Our forests and mountains will help us through this! Please keep sharing your creative work!

Make your own CRAYONS!

Today’s #athomeart project was to make new crayons! The results were better than I expected (if I do say so myself) and who doesn’t want a set of #Lego crayons? This girl has been asking for new crayons, and since the nubbins abound, this seemed like an appropriate project.
