One my earliest happiest memories is linked to drawing. Due to various factors I did not pursue it. During my years as a full time Home Educating Mom of two, Art was always part of what we did.
One of the things that got me back into nurturing my own personal creative journey was doing Daily Monthly Prompts which were recommended to me by a fellow Home Educating parent. That sparked something in me. Whilst I did not manage to do it daily, it nurtured confidence in exploring and experimenting with different mediums. That is the whole point of Drawing Prompts – to spark motivation to invest in developing one’s creativity.
Monthly prompts are usually found on Instagram. There is something inviting about doing it with others and sharing it with others. I have occasionally organised Drawing Prompts for the Creatives signed up in my classes. One of my goals in 2023 is to publish one every month. Anyone is welcome to join in. If you are Home Educating/Schooling, how about adding it into your daily schedule.
The prompts are just tools to spark ideas for drawing. Draw them in any Art medium – pencils, biro pen, paints, collage – whatever you like! There is no pressure to join in daily, but adding a creativity session into one’s daily routine helps. You may find it useful to have a dedicated sketch book for all your drawings but a folder works as well. Do date your Art pieces as it’s encouraging to look back at the pieces you have done after a period of time. Everyone, including the great Masters start somewhere!
I will be publishing the Monthly Prompts here and on my Social Media Pages. There is no obligation to share them with me or on Social Media. But if you do, do tag me as I would love to see them. Whenever relevant, I will be using the season or special commemorative day as the prompt of the day. So for example, 18th January is National Winnie the Pooh day; so Pooh Bear is assigned that day. I will be joining in when I can and I hope you will too!
