Let's be Plein
Happy May Day!
May is PleinAir month, and while we might be distancing, staying home, keeping safe, during this strange time, we can still be extraordinary and out there with our Art digitally.
BeauxArts wants to check in with you during this difficult time and help you use the power of art. The Arts are more important than ever to explore. I'd like to encourage you to take a few minutes a day to be creative with whatever sparks you; could be cleaning & organizing (your art supplies?), creating a new dish (write it down and share!), making a journal, doing some watercolors or plein air out side your door, you name it!
Wishing you, your family, neighbors and friends all the best!!! Below are some fun creative opportunities for you!
May 2020 Art Challenge
For all ages, abilities & interests!!! Monthly Art Challenge is here with simple and complex creative prompts. Each day has a word or a question to prompt you to be creative. You can use whatever medium you would like. Take a minimum of 10 minutes per day to do! Some might take longer than others (& that is OK!). Feel free to do different things (such as painting, sketching, trying new media). Keep us posted on what you create on the Facebook Event Listing!
