Art At Home

View this post on Instagram

Keep sharing your #athomeart and #staycreative ! I love these #rock paintings that spread some color and joy by a @waitsfieldschool sixth grade student.

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!
