Write a Postcard to the Summer

Before summer begins to fade, pause and notice what is glowing around you.

Find a quiet place outdoors or sit beside an open window and spend a few moments observing the colors, shapes, sounds, and textures of August.

On a small piece of paper, create a postcard celebrating this fleeting season. Draw the curve of a leaf, paint the colors of the sunset, collage a memory, or write a few words about something you want to remember.

You don’t need to be an artist. You only need to pause, notice, and create.

You will need:

• To set aside 10 uninterrupted minutes
• A postcard or postcard-sized piece of paper
• Pencils, pens, markers, crayons, paint, or whatever

On the back, complete the following sentence:

Dear Summer, thank you for…

Keep your postcard somewhere special, mail it to someone you love, or share it with us on social media using #TakeAnArtBreak and #ArtIsMoving
