Writing:
The Winter Solstice happened during the past week. Write about the changing of the seasons. You can look at symbols in the world around you that mark the transition from fall to winter. You can also talk about how you and your habits shift from one season to another. Art: A few days ago, there was a Google Doodle for the Winter Solstice. Draw your own Google Doodle! What would you like to depict? Do you want to incorporate the holiday season with its festive lights? Do you want to cover the ground with snow? Depict the Winter Solstice with your drawing.

Writing:
There is never a lack of gossip nor intrigue surrounding the lives of celebrities. Writers are constantly looking for plot inspiration, and stepping into the life of a famous person is a sure way to draw in readers and appeal to their curiosity. When crafting your character for this prompt, you can either write from the perspective of a celebrity that already exists, or create your own. Keep in mind that “celebrity” does not only refer to pop stars and actors (although it definitely could!), but also well-known figures in certain academic fields, fashion designers, classical musicians, social media influencers, or even someone distinguished among a small group of people, like in a school community or neighborhood. Some ways to begin writing about your character includes describing a day in their life, brainstorming potential sources of tension or conflict, who their enemies/rivals might be, why/how they became famous (backstories are always fun!), and if they actually enjoy or regret anything about their careers. This does not only need to be in a short-story format; if your celebrity is a musician, you can try writing song lyrics from their perspective, if they are an actor, maybe write a script. Art: Connected to the writing prompt, we will be depicting celebrity lifestyles in our artwork this week. You can take this as literally or abstractly as you would like- you can draw portraits of famous people, scenes from their lives, places where they might live, or center your piece around symbols of fame and stardom. Think about the colors that are often used to represent celebrities- are they bright, shimmering, and neon, or mellow, dark, and discreet? Maybe there is a middle ground? Other motifs that can spark interesting ideas are the concepts of reflections, masks, reality vs perception, wealth, and influence. Be creative, and enjoy the process! Writing: Imagine the most outlandish donut, and create a story over its creation, ingredients, social settings, etc.
Art: Similarly to the prompt for writing, draw/paint this donut you imagine. In fact, it could be so outlandish that it doesn't even have to be legally edible. Writing:
Write a story that starts with two people making eye contact. What happens next? Does anything? Art: Draw something that hasn't been invented yet. Either because it can never be invented or because no one has thought of it yet. |
