It’s time to explore the world, to meet artists and to share our rainbows of everyday or surprising objects .
This week’s Creativity for Challenging Times episode features three ways to add a little joy and newness into your life. For more ideas, we recommend going back to the first one or second one to score some other ideas.
Here’s our new projects in episode nine:
Doodle. Set your timer for 30 or 35 minutes and just daydream with your pencil. Draw anything and everything that comes to mind. At the end of that time, head to Doodlers Anonymous or a similar drawing site to join communities and drawing challenges. Challenge yourself to doodle for an hour a day – or 30 minutes if your schedule is slammed – every day for a week.
Dip into documentaries. Be like artist Hubert Massey and alternate between science and art subjects. Or watch these eight documentaries about Detroit. Or tune into documentaries about artists and photographers, selected by Widewalls, an online art magazine..
Rainbow scavenger hunt. This idea from Living Arts teacher Stephanie Mae works as a competition between siblings or a challenge among art friends. Gather many items – in the rainbow of colors. Then group them and pose them and photograph them. Post your work and be sure to tag Mint and Living Arts.
