Daily Dose of Art
Bring some creativity and imagination into your time at home and put some positive energy out into the world with a “Daily Dose of Art” – ideas for small art projects to take your mind to another place (and entertain bored kids.) The “doses” were posted daily starting March 14 and continued for fifty days! Remember: This isn’t about making a masterpiece, it’s about having a little fun and exploring your creativity.
