Helpful Prompts:

Not sure where to start? Whether you're planning to draw with a pencil, push pixels on your monitor, take a photograph or put pen to paper, here are a few ideas to get your creativity flowing:

Subjects: collages, self-portrait, found-object, your pet(s), favorite holiday memories, play Exquisite Corpse (you start, they finish), origami paper & instructions; activities (wordsearch, crossword, etc.)

Questions: What brings you joy? What advice would you give to your younger self? What fascinates you? What's something you struggle with? What's something you've learned about yourself this year? What would you like to accomplish next year? What's a project you'd like to work on? Is there something you'd like to learn?

Other: Positive affirmations, a poem, jokes, recipes, a random fact (#todayilearned)
