2 Friday Fun

A post shared by Tim Needles (@timneedles) on

The theme for every Friday this year is fun!  Be creative and have some fun with art- you can do anything from drawing something fun to adding google eyes to something to add some personification.  The example above is me slow dancing in the supermarket and below is artist Jon Burgerman adding parts to people on the subway with his sketchbook- anything goes so have fun and share it with #TERPart!

1 The Everyday Renaissance Project 2017


It's June and that means it's time for The Everyday Renaissance Project (#TERart)again!  We are going to start out this month of creative prompts with some simple exercises to get the creative juices flowing.  I don't know how you feel but it's been a busy school year and I'm a bit emotionally drained so were incorporating some Social Emotional Learning and art therapy techniques into TERP to help us all relax and de-stress.

If you are new to TERP welcome, this is open to everyone and here are the basics:

1. A new creative prompt is posted here each day.
2. Spend whatever amount of time you'd like to create something in response.
3. Share your work on social media with #TERPart and #k12artchallenge

We are going to begin with doodles.  Draw some doodles, have fun, add other media if you'd like and share it!  Doodles are great for relieving stress and being creative even when you don't have much time so enjoy!

6/30 Zine


It's the last day of TERPart for 2016 so lets end it with a collaboration Zine. I included some examples from pintrest above and pika pika land below if you haven't made a zine before but I used to make zines in art school and it's a fun way to wrap up the everyday renaissance experience.

Design a page that's a piece of computer paper folded in half (5 1/2 x 8 1/2) and the unifying theme will be the positives that you've learned and taken away from this creative challenge experience.  Include art, words, collage, or whatever but use it as a reflective process.  Photograph the piece and I'll arrage all of the pages into a small art zine that can be printed and shared.  I hope you enjoyed it, have a great summer and stay creative!

6/29- Artist Trading Card


It's the day before the last day of TERPart so I thought I'd like to repeat one of the favorite challenges from last summer-Artist Trading Cards. Last year we had a small exchange which you can see on the Vine video above and the content is totally open, just create the work on a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of paper or board. If you want to trade ATC's try to make between 3-7 cards and send me a confirmation email at needlesart@gmail.com and I'll reply with the instructions which are pretty simple. Have fun, be creative and share the results with hashtag #TERPart and #k12artchallenge
