14 Days of Art Prompts

1. Be inspired by your breakfast: Use the colors from your cereal box to start your next piece.

2. Use a mirror: Place a mirror on your work surface and make a painting by looking into the mirror.

3. Draw without looking: Draw a still life in a journal with your eyes closed.

4. Make a book: Google book binding and try a new binding technique.

5. Add glitter to something: Try German glitter glass or cut-glass glitter for a vintage look.

6. Create a Packing Tape Transfer: Place a piece of packing tape over a photocopy image and rub off the paper backing with a wet sponge.

7. Use old supplies: Use a supply in your studio that you haven’t used in at least 6 months.

8. Make a stencil: Take a picture of your favorite pet (or person) in profile and make a silhouette stencil.

9. Tear it up: Grab an old book and tear it up. See what you can build/cover/create with the pieces.

10. Fold it up: Try a piece of origami, search online for directions. Try it with vintage sheet music or even fabric paper.

11. Go opposite: Use the colors on the opposite side of the color wheel from your go-to palette.

12. Work big: Grab a piece of paper at least twice as big as you usually work on, and stretch yourself.

13. Work small: Sharpen your pencils, and grab your .005 Pigma® Micron pens and magnifying glass, and work small.

14. Carve it out: Take a moment to make your own artist stamp by carving an eraser with a craft knife.
