Writing: Write about your most memorable moment from the first-person point of view. What makes it special to you? How did you feel when you experienced this event? Were you excited, scared, or joyful? Was it a happy or sad moment? Did you share it with others? Try to narrate the event in a way so that the reader can feel the emotions you felt.
Art: Recall your most memorable moment and draw your feelings from that event. How did you feel? Don't draw the setting or a depiction of what had happened. Focus instead on the sensations that you felt and try to allow the viewer to feel the same way when they look at your drawing. For instance, if you felt happy, use warm colors. If you felt sad, use cool colors.

Writing:
Spring is my favorite season. And since today is officially the first day of spring, I thought that this week’s prompts should celebrate the new season. One of the most beautiful parts of spring (unless you have pollen allergies), is the rebirth of life and nature. Everything around us seems to be blooming, and the sun seems just a bit brighter and the sky just a bit clearer. Spring is a time that starting over seems more plausible, and the stress and gloom of the winter months fades to a memory. There are a few options for this week’s writing prompt: Number one, write about the blossoming of plant-life that you observe in your daily life. Whether it is the pink buds on cherry trees, the heavenly aroma of hyacinths, or or the multi-colored petals of tulips, there is no limit on the amount of poetry that can be inspired by this season. Another option is to write about memories you have of previous springs. The air during this time of year is particularly distinct in its spring-ness, and at least for me, always conjures images and feelings from the past. The final approach you can take, is to write about what this season means to you personally, in the present day, as you experience it. For example, do you notice that you have more or less energy than the winter months, a brighter outlook, or renewed optimism? Do you hate spring, and cannot understand why anyone else might appreciate it? Are you cautiously hopeful that the nicer weather might mean a happier next-few months? Have fun with it, and maybe work on this prompt outside! Art: Very much related to the writing prompt, this week’s prompt asks you to capture a moment that you feel is the epitome of spring. If you wish to practice photography, you can take a walk around your neighborhood and take photos of any scenes that particularly scream “spring” to you. You can do the same thing with drawing or painting, or you can depict images from your own mind or memory. These pictures can definitely be of flowers or trees, but they can also be less explicitly spring-like things. For example, if there are certain people on your block who like to sit outside on their stoops as the weather gets warmer, you can illustrate that. Or maybe you can draw all of the open windows in your building, or the people outside of school who are congregating instead of rushing home. Abstract art or collages can also be a really great way to convey certain images/associations that you have with this season. You can also bring your canvas or sketchbook outdoors, and try to do some drawing/painting of what you see in real time! Writing:
Imagine a world where it never rains; take this as optimistically or as pessimistically as you'd like, but explore all possible implications of this world without rain. Do the people suffer? Do they rejoice? How are the animals affected? Do they adapt? Art: Similarly to the writing prompt, create this rainless world visually. Have the plants taken on new colors? Does the sky look any different? The sky's the limit (pun intended). Writing:
If plants could talk, what would they say? Write a poem or a short story that features talking plants. You can choose to describe conversations between two flowers or narrate what a cactus would say to its owner. Would it complain about not getting enough water? Would they tell each other that they love transforming CO2 into O2? You can even tell the story of the everyday life of a plant. How does it see the world around it? Does it need to go to sleep and then wake up in the morning? Does it prefer one fertilizer over another? Art: Draw your favorite flower or plant. Why did you choose it? Highlight the aspects of it that you love the most. Is it the colorful petals? Is it because it is a hardy plant, or because it looks beautiful next to your desk lamp? Try to show all of the details of the flower or plant. Do the leaves have a fluffy or waxy texture? Use as many of your five senses to draw your chosen plant. |
