I hope you had a happy 4th! Did you create anything inspired by freedom? I bet you did- even if it was a meal to celebrate the holiday w friends. Inspiration isn’t always to paint or draw. Notice all the ways in which you are an artist! 🫶 🎆

Bird was the word 🙃 This week’s word is “Freedom” I think as the Fourth of July approaches we have this bold idea of what the word freedom means, but I wonder what it means to you personally? Maybe it’s reading a book in the bath with your phone off? Maybe it’s the very first car you had. Maybe it’s buying the plane ticket. Can’t wait to see what you create ☺️

Get creative with it! Can you do one that’s really straightforward and one that’s a bit more out of the box? 🙃

This is one of the easiest most successful projects try this summer. 😎 Any age can accomplish a dragon eye! Start with a football or lemon shape nice and BIG in the center of your paper. 🍋 🏈 Make a pupil (the dark black part) and maybe sketch out a spot for a reflection (sketch it out to remind yourself to leave it white. Around the eye start making scales! They don’t need to be perfect, we just need to call on the principal or repetition! Maybe some are rounded like upside down “u” shapes while spiky scales will be more like an upside down “v”. Maybe your scales get bigger as they near the edge of your page. Maybe they get brighter on color too? Once sketched out add that gorgeous color with a material or your choice. You cannot do this wrong, I promise 🩷🫶 Share yours below if you give it a try!

Love the fun work that came from another open ended prompt!
