You suddenly have an entire afternoon to yourself. What sounds best?

Wandering somewhere beautiful with nowhere to be.

Getting completely absorbed in a project.

Giving myself plenty of options and seeing what happens.

Doing something with my hands that actually lasts.

Finally doing something with that idea I’ve been carrying around.

Just slowing down and doing anything creative sounds wonderful.

Pick the art supply you’d be most excited to find waiting for you.

A beautiful new sketchbook.

A set of rich, gorgeous paints.

A box of strange materials I’ve never used before.

A collection of tools I can learn to use.

A truly blank surface with no rules.

Simple supplies and a simple idea.

Which creative rabbit hole sounds most like you?

Losing track of time because I’m just enjoying myself.

Inventing a whole story from one interesting detail.

Figuring out exactly how something was made.

Asking “What if?” until the table is a mess.

Focusing on one color until it's exactly where you want it.

Getting lost in a world of tiny details.

What would you most like someone to say about something you made?

“You look like you had so much fun making this.”

“I keep thinking about what this means.”

“Wait, you made that!?”

“How did you even think of doing this?”

“The technique is just incredible.”

“I love how you notice things.”

You have a blank page. What do you do?

I look around for something interesting to draw.

I start thinking about composition and balance.

I just make any mark and figure it out from there.

I'd think about ways to cut, shape, fold, or build with it.

I'd start wondering what I should say with it.

Pick a place you'd most want to make something.

Somewhere relaxed with no expectations.

A quiet corner where I can disappear into my own thoughts.

A studio fully equipped with tools and materials.

A messy workshop where I'm allowed to use everything.

A quiet, sunlit work station with an easel waiting.

A garden, trail, or somewhere outdoors.

What result sounds most satisfying?

Realizing I made something and I'm not being graded on it.

My ideas were expressed clearly.

Holding a finished object that didn't exist before.

Discovering a finished piece I couldn't have planned.

Watching an image become perfected after lots of hard work.

Finally showing something in the way only I can see it.

Pick a creative motto.

Practice makes possibility.

Let's see what happens.

Everything has a story.

It doesn't have to be good to be worth making.

You're visiting a museum. What pulls you in first?

An object that makes me wonder how it was made.

A work that immediately makes me wonder what happened before or after it was made.

Whatever art makes me feel welcome and understood.

Incredible detail or beautifully unique style.

Something I can just stare at for twenty minutes.

A piece I could not have imagined myself.

What makes it most difficult for you to create?

I don't always have enough time to really observe.

I know what I want to make, but my skills aren't quite there yet.

I get stuck trying to make things the “right” way.

I don't know how to use the tools or materials that interest me.

I have ideas, but struggle to actually express them.

I just feel like I'm not really an artist.

What do you most want from an art class?

To see the world in new ways.

To become a stronger artist technically.

To discover something I never would've tried myself.

To learn a new hands-on skill.

To give form to my ideas and experiences.

To feel creative at all.
