10 Prompts, 10 Days, 10 Minutes - Day 2 - Take time outside

Welcome to day 2 of the 10 Ideas to kick start your creativity.  Today's task and additional instructions is below.  Apologies for the lateness, the others will be given so that you have enough time (promise).  Enjoy!

Prompt 2  Take Time outside

• Take time outside - Go for a walk and photograph 5 things you find inspiring, come back and draw one of them, think about the colors, and other features that you notice.  

• Alternatives – walking is always a great way to spark your creativity.  Don’t over think the activity, think about the things that you are grateful for, things that you miss on your day to day.  You could just go out to your front or back garden or go to the park or beach and look at different things.  

• Next time you could go out with a pencil and pad and start drawing the things that inspire you, taking quick sketches and then working on it when you get back.

Additional Information

The great thing about these ideas is that anyone can do them, you don’t need to be creative, so if you are looking for ways to unwind or give yourself that much needed time then these are things ideas that you should try.

For each activity you can try it using different mediums or surfaces, colours - do not limit yourself.  I want to give you ways in which you can experiment if you want to.  You can adapt it anyway you like to suit, and there are no right or wrong ways to create, so do not put any boundaries on yourself.

The most important thing is to have fun.  The minimum amount of time you should spend on each activity is 10 minutes, it is great if you can spend longer.  You can do a different activity each day, add the activities together, or work on a piece for longer.
