Take some time today to think about where you will go for your Artist Date this week.
Remember:
1. You go alone...just you.
2. Pick a place that brings you joy.
3. Keep it simple this first week. The best thing to remember is that you want to be sure to have an artist date once a week, so think about location, time in your schedule and what you really want to "see".
Then, once you have taken your Artist Date this week, post a comment! You can either write, "Artist Date, check!", or leave a comment with more details about your adventure. This is a blog to hold yourself accountable. We will also learn from each other about "what makes a good Artist Date" for each of us. We may become inspired by an Artist Date we never thought of!
I will send out a reminder post every Monday. Take time each weekend to plan your Artist Date for the next week.

Hi All!

This week, for my artist date, I am planning on wandering some shops in a favorite small town. I will be looking for any books or music that capture my fancy!
I already started Sunday with an Artist date. While Hosting the venue where my Artprize entry is located, I brought along some Art stix and paper and sketched, and sketched. It was awesome! The art at the venue was a great inspiration!
Awesome! Here's to taking time to create!
I am going on friday, to Artprize with my fifth grade students. There is a time when they are going off with parent chaperones to write and sketch about several pieces of art. I plan to do the same! So often as an art teacher, I know the value of doing such things, but fail to actually do it for myself! I can't wait!
That sounds like a great exploration! Enjoy that time on your own....and then, share what you discover! Whoo hooo!
