Ways of Doing: Prompts
Ways of Doing is a monthly creative challenge that you can take part in from the comfort of your own home! Each month, we’ll release a prompt for you to respond creatively to. You can paint, collage, doodle, write, photograph – whatever you are drawn to do! The idea is to celebrate the diversity of what being creative means. And we’ll also get that warm, fuzzy feeling that being part of a creative community can bring!
The focus for May's Ways of Doing challenge is…GREEN!
In nearby Hastings they celebrate Jack in the Green on May Day – the Jack is a greenery-covered man who leads a procession through the town before being stripped of his leaves to let summer begin. Indeed, the colour green is deeply connected to nature and often symbolises tranquillity, health, and vitality. For as much as green is associated with positive feelings, it is also used to represent some less welcome things. You might be feeling jealous and be “green with envy”, or feel your stomach begin to churn as your complexion turns a queasy shade of green. So, there really is lots of inspiration for creativity here…
Once you’ve created your response, share it on Instagram or email it to info@waysofseeing.art with image details and we’ll be sure to respond. We’ll also share highlights each month on here and on Instagram.
Instagram sharing guidelines:
• Tell us what it was about the prompt that inspired you to create & a bit about your chosen medium
• Tag us @waysofseeing_art
• Use the following hashtags: #WaysOfDoing #CommunityOfCreativity #WaysOfSeeing​
We can’t wait to see what you are inspired to create!
