Art Forum
Each week, we will feature a new theme or art challenge for you to participate in.
Popular in the 17th century, vanitas symbolize the transience of earthly life. With 5 objects create your still life!
Use a random object and set it up so light casts a shadow. What images come to mind? Draw in the details!
What did you make and do this summer? From baking to painting to candlestick making, share your proud pictures!
Enjoy a cup of tea, then create something with the tag, the bag itself, or the tea leaves.
Find a poem you love, write it down, then illustrate it! Or just photograph the poem in your lovely handwriting.
Take a photo of the sunset and use this to inspire your art; write a narrative, poem, or use the color pallette!
Choose an inspirational word and paint it on a found rock. Use it for yourself, or leave somewhere for others to find.

Newspaper, magazine, junk mail, repurpose a used book… use these as the basis of an inspirational collage!
Sometimes it’s just a few words that inspire us to keep moving forward. Share yours in any creative way!
Post a pic of any signs of hope you see while out and about taking care of essentials or getting your exercise.
Channel your inner scream via Edvard Munch: take a photo, create a painting, use filters-- be creative!
