The Creative Spark Challenge is a free monthly challenge to help you get inspired, excited, and motivated to create! The goal is to make 1 piece of artwork a month this year. At the beginning of each month, I'll randomly draw a prompt card from the Creative Spark Deck to inspire our artwork and I'll share different ideas to help you interpret the prompts we get. You can learn more about the challenge here and find all the prompts here.

Whether you consider yourself artistic or not, we are ALL creative in many different ways. I hope the prompts for this month get you thinking and brainstorming and that it helps you take action (even if it's a small one) to express yourself and your imagination!
 
This month's prompts will be briefer than usual because the Social Media Summer Break and 21 Every Days Art Project is happening this month.
