Take an Art Break / Freedom Wings Painting

By creating your Freedom Wings, you can explore and celebrate the essence of freedom in a deeply personal and artistic way. Let your creativity take flight and enjoy the journey!

Art Break Supplies:

  • A large sheet of paper or canvas
  • Paints (watercolor, acrylic, or any type you prefer)
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • A palette for mixing colors
  • Water and a cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Optional: glitter, markers, or other embellishments

Art Break Directions:

  1. Find Your Inspiration: Think about what freedom means to you. It could be a feeling, a place, an experience, or a symbol that represents freedom.
  2. Sketch Your Wings: On your paper or canvas, lightly sketch a pair of wings. Wings are often associated with freedom and the ability to soar above challenges.
  3. Choose Your Colors: Select colors that represent freedom to you. They could be bright and vibrant or soft and serene—whatever speaks to your sense of liberation. Consider using different colors to represent different aspects of freedom—bold colors for strength and courage, softer hues for peace and tranquility.
  4. Paint Your Wings: Begin painting your wings, starting with a base layer and gradually adding details and layers. Use different brush sizes to create texture and depth.
  5. Add Personal Elements: As you paint, think about adding personal elements that symbolize freedom to you. This could be patterns, symbols, words, or images. You might even sprinkle some glitter to give your wings a magical touch.
  6. Reflect on Your Work: Take a step back and look at your finished piece. Reflect on the process and how expressing freedom through art made you feel. What does this artwork reveal about your personal understanding of freedom?
  7. Share Your Art (Optional): If you feel comfortable, share your Freedom Wings with others. Discuss what freedom means to you and how you expressed it through your art. We’d love to see you art! Share it with us here.
