Dear friends,
January is the perfect time for connecting and creating - whether you’re making a warm meal for friends, taking a new art class, or wandering through a museum! Here are a bunch of fun ideas to help you connect and create this month:
Need a silly ice breaker to get a party started? Have everyone create blind contour portraits of each other. Koosje Koone explains how to do it in this short video!
Looking for a new way to connect with the kids in your life? Try learning a craft together! Just look up “Fun Kid Craft” on google and see what fun stuff pops up.
Wondering what to say when people ask, “Why are you taking an art class?” Try this article from the NY Times on the Benefits of Drawing or this short video about The Purpose Of Art In Our Lives by Alain de Botton. Both include great information that will inspire you and your friends to make art!
Looking for cold weather sketching opportunities? Follow USKBoston on Instagram and Facebook and join them for a free sketching session! This friendly group meets to sketch Boston each week and they meet indoors in winter. They love having new folks join them and beginners are totally welcome!
