Helloooo fellow ANers!
It is proven through multiple studies that
stress is reduced by creation, such as cooking, drawing, sculpting, photography, building and writing – and that skill level or amount of originality doesn’t matter. The process of creation is believed to lower cortisol levels, which can help a person think clearer and therefore
perform better in academic studies. *hint hint* 😉
A lot of people decide that art is not for them – that they’re ‘bad’ at drawing, or maybe just don’t have the time because they’re stressed about studies. But the thing is, making time for yourself to do something you can work with your hands, develop and adapt, is actually
extremely important and can
help improve your mindset, especially in those times where you feel bogged down and heavy with the load of SAC after SAC, assessment after assessment.
So this is a place created for people of all skill-sets and experience – a fortnightly challenge, one topic, a
million ideas. It might be mainly a drawing club, but there’s really no rules; if you feel like drawing isn’t for you, why not try compiling a playlist of songs that relate to the topic, typing up a short story, or snapping a photo with personal meaning? The only rule is that you
share it with us here whenever you finish the challenge – just post a pic or scan or whatever you’ve done and be proud of what it took to make it! Because no matter if you’re drawing stick figures, or something that should be hung in a museum, it should be something you’ve done to de-stress.
So, without further ado, the next two week’s topic is…
Can’t wait to see what people come up with!
Posting for this topic closes on the 13th of June. Happy creating!
If anyone needs information on how to post their works, PM me. 😊
Not sure if people are going to get on board but if they don’t I blame you, Caleb.
