How to run one

STEP ONE – OBSERVE

Take a few moments to quietly look at the two artworks. Notice the colors, details, emotions, and anything that catches your attention.

STEP THREE – CREATE

Read the "Why This Works" section, then create your own artwork inspired by what you explored. Focus on expressing your ideas, not making perfect art.

STEP TWO – REFLECT

Use the prompts to connect the artwork to your own memories, emotions, or experiences. There are no right or wrong answers.

STEP FOUR – SHARE & KEEP

Write a short reflection, then add your completed page to your booklet. Over time, you'll create a personal collection that tells your unique story through art.

Path 01 - Explore an Artist

Discover how artists turned their experiences into art, then create your own inspired page. Click through each artist, complete the activities, and create your own artwork inspired by their unique style and story.
