Doodle Art
Why not try this really fun and effective art technique. All you need is paper and some colours. Simply draw some lines with a pencil on paper and then fill in the blank spaces with colours!

Window Sketching
Choose a window in your home to get comfortable by. Use your sketch pad from school and have a go at sketching what you see! You might like to sketch the view or sketch some simple things you notice. Taking notice of the things around you can support your wellbeing. You might like to share your sketches with us!
I hope you enjoy getting creative with art today! You might like to share below what you have been busy making!
I have tried the drawing through a window and it worked really well and it was very calming 🙂 👌
Well done Lavinia! I am glad you found it very calming 🙂
It was, thank you. Now I have also done the doodling activity and that was calming and fun as well, it was probably my favourite.(●’◡’●)(●’◡’●)
Sounds great Lavinia, it’s lovely to see you have been enjoying the creative activities!
