STUDIO LIBRARY
A growing collection of digital resources, creative prompts, and classroom tools designed to support art educators in and beyond the classroom.
Unfold creativity with this playful, hands-on art activity inspired by the stars! Students cut, fold, and decorate their own cosmic fortune teller using metallic gel pens and constellation designs. As they play, they’ll discover fun cosmic-themed prompts while learning about real constellations like Orion, Ursa Major, and Pegasus. It’s a blend of creativity, storytelling, and astronomy—perfect for a quick, engaging art moment that sparks curiosity and wonder.
The 2026 Intention Board is a quiet, studio-centered tool for artists and makers who want to move into the year with clarity instead of pressure.
Designed to be printed or used digitally, this board invites you to reflect on how you want to work, not just what you want to achieve. It centers process, values, and creative habits—so your goals stay connected to your studio practice.
This is not a vision board about hustle or productivity.
It’s a space to notice what you’re carrying, what you’re ready to release, and how you want your making to feel in 2026.
Use it at the start of the year, revisit it mid-season, or return to it whenever you need to realign your practice.
