Writing: There are some symbols in this world that can represent conflicting ideas. For instance, fire can be seen as both destructive and comforting. Water can be both suffocating and healing. Find an object and write about its duality as a symbol of two different concepts. Why is this object a symbol for the ideas that you chose?
Art: Following the prompt for writing, draw the symbol you chose. Include the actual object and references to its dual and complex nature.

Writing:
Sometimes it can be difficult to create new characters for every short story or poem that you write. That’s why, for this week’s prompt, we will be taking inspiration from characters that already exist. You can choose your favorite character of all time, whether it is from a book, poem, graphic novel, TV show, movie, or song. Then, try writing in their voice! There are many ways to approach this prompt, such as writing a continuation of the character’s story, their inner thoughts, placing the character in a modern setting, or simply using their unique voice in any setting/situation of your choosing! Art: Fanart is all the rage right now, which is why you will be creating some of your own this week! Your art can respond to a book, poem, graphic novel, TV show, movie, or song, and can take the form of any artistic medium. Some questions you can ask yourself to get started are: what do I wish was included in this already existing piece that I would love to illustrate? Is there a certain character that would be really interesting to draw based on the descriptions (or lack of descriptions) in the book? Is there a scene that I could recreate on paper? Could I use abstract colors, shapes, or designs to depict the tone of a certain part of the story? Do I love a certain aspect of the world where this story takes place to use as the setting for my artwork? Writing: Reflect on what you're thankful for. This can take any shape you'd like, but try to expand on everything you write you're thankful for.
Art: Draw the most exaggerated Thanksgiving feast imaginable. Take it to heights even Hollywood movies haven't gotten to yet. The sky's the limit with this one. Writing: Write a story that incorporates tears somewhere. Is the narrator crying? Does the narrator hear someone cry? Are the tears a symbol for something else entirely? Set the stage for us!
Art: Draw something centered around the idea of connection. Positive or negative. Between two people in a relationship or total strangers. What does connection mean to you in this very moment? Show us! |
