Not for your art teacher, but for yourself and to enhance your creativity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">Each Friday I give a creative prompt and each of us interprets that into a drawing, a doodle, a collage, a scrapbook page, a crocheted afghan, a painting, a photo\u2026<em><strong>any kind<\/strong><\/em> of creative work that suits <strong>you<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"caption\">We can design a quilt, make a sculpture from marble or Sculpey, mold something with clay, paint, or write anything we want in response to the prompt. <\/span><span class=\"caption\">There are no rules on medium or method. The idea is to develop a regular art practice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">If your week is crazy, post a previous art piece and let that older piece inspire you and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">Take 5 minutes to create your response.
