Look outside a window. It can be any window- your bedroom, a classroom, the subway- and jot down as many details as you can see. Notice the weather, the light or darkness, all objects or landscapes that you can see. You can create a story that begins, or entirely takes place, within the scene that you can see from your window. You can add a person, who for whatever reason is outside the window, and think about the steps that it took for the person to get there, or why they are there. Are they meeting someone? Are they lost? Maybe they are looking for a quiet moment of self-reflection? Another approach you could take to this prompt is choosing an object that you see from your window, and writing a poem from its point of view. If it had eyes, what does it see? What does it hear, feel, think about? How does the world change around it? Art: This prompt begins the same way as the writing prompt; by looking out a window. It can be any window- your bedroom, a classroom, the subway- and jot down as many details as you can see. Notice the weather, the light or darkness, all objects or landscapes that you can see. This can be a realistic assignment, where you try to accurately depict the scene by painting or drawing the image from your window. You can also be a bit more abstract, and only focus on certain shapes or parts of the view, and center other aspects of the image around them. Another option is to take an object from the image, like a tree, bench, or crosswalk, and place it in an entirely different landscape. For example, the tree that normally sits outside of your bedroom may now be perched on the dunes of a windy beach, or set deep within the crust of another planet, or is shrunk down to a fraction of its size and put into a small glass time capsule on an office desk.

In honor of Valentine’s day approaching, write about the best way you could envision spending the holiday. This could be as sappy/cliché as you’d like it to be. Art: Create a new symbol we could associate with Valentine’s day. Aside from red/pink/purple/white hearts, what else could we think about? |
