The January challenge. Day 5

Vi siete già accorti che ho già cominciato a saltare delle giornate? Sigh...

Today's Challenge comes from the "We Are Culture" programme.

Create a vision board for 2022! Put down your hopes, your dreams, whatever it is that you want to experience - get it on paper.

Use colour, words, collage, whatever inspires you. Bring your visions to life!

Day 5. Vision Board.

Not so original but I would be extremely happy to reach at least some of these goals

The January challenge. Day 2

Today's Challenge comes from the "We Are Culture" programme. 

"Think of a place or location that is important to you. Now, finish the sentence "Why I love..." with all of the things that you love about that place." 

Day 2. Why I love... 

I love this place (Cervia, Italy) because it's like coming home after have travelled away. It's like finding a warm huge, a place where my defences can relax because I'm feeling comforted and listened and it is the only place where I can freely think about What I need in my life and have the strength to take important decision.

The January challenge. Day 1

Anche quest'anno ho deciso di partecipare alla January challenge di 64millionartists. Anche quest'anno ho scelto di partecipare alla sfida dove c'è il mix dei tre temi scelti per quest'anno: "We Are Human", "We Are Culture" and "We Are Connected." Sinceramente non avrei saputo quale dei tre scegliere...

Today's challenge is from "We Are Human".

Create a self portrait in one line. You could create your line in pen, paint, string - or anything else you can find.

Mah, non sono molto sicura che questo disegno mi assomigli neanche alla lontana, ma ci ho provato...

Jess Thom's challenge. Jar of possibilities.

Create a prompt jar filled with a range of different ideas to inspire your creativity in the future.

It might be prompts to inspire drawings and painting like “add dots” or “add a new colour” - or writing prompts like “introduce a new character.” Or, it might be a collection of creative challenges you would like to try again, or you didn’t get round to this month.

Create a collection that you can keep coming back to and adding to. Keep your creativity flowing!

What has been a highlight of the last month for you? Celebrate your achievements - the big ones, small ones and the ones in between.

***************************

Quest'anno la January challenge è stata disastrosa. Avevo cominciato a saltare alcune sfide, poi ad un certo punto gliel'ho proprio data su. C'erano troppe, troppe, sfide piene di riflessioni e non ce la facevo. Non ne avevo voglia. L'anno scorso era stata carina perchè era più "creativa" in senso materiale; quest'anno mi ha molto deluso. L'ho scritto anche nel questionario finale.

E sebbene la sfida sia finita il 31 gennaio, solo ora riesco a postare gli ultimi giorni che mancavano. Non volevo lasciarla a metà, mi faceva piacere avere una specie di "memoria" della sfida, anche se non l'ho compilata. Spero di riuscire a parteciparci il prossimo anno. 

The January Challenge. Day 30

The January Challenge. Day 30 

Lemn Sissay's challenge. Shh! 

Find somewhere - anywhere - to hide a poem or a note for somebody else to find. 

Like Rupinder, you could create a magical place outside to hide your words, or you could hide your it in a letter, in a sock, or even in a mug ready for somebody to find when they make a cup of tea. 

Perhaps your poem or note is the ‘Recipe for Happiness’ poem from yesterday's challenge - or perhaps it's something brand new.

The January Challenge. Day 29

The January Challenge. Day 29

It's Friday! And on Friday's, everybody taking part in The January Challenge comes together to do the same challenge.

Recipe for happiness.

Write a poem that is a recipe for happiness.

Think about the ingredients you would choose - where do you find them, and how much of each ingredient do you need?

Write your recipe instructions down, and let’s get cooking!

Has your recipe changed over the last year? What is your most special, secret ingredient?

The January Challenge. Day 28

The January Challenge. Day 28

Lemn Sissay's challenge. A mundane conversation.

Write or dictate a short two person dialogue and aim to make it as boring or mundane as possible.

Don't look at the second part of this challenge until you have written something!

Now, read it back - but imagine what is not being said. What are these characters avoiding talking about? Or what are they waiting for an opportunity to talk about? Did you have an idea of who they are?

What happens if you drastically change this? If your characters were in their 70s, what happens if you imagine they are very young children?

You can spend as much or as little time as you like on part two. This can be a 5 minute mental exercise, or you might want to share your discoveries and ideas with others.
