Stick figures are more than welcome.

Just like all of our art break ideas and the take an art break movement, there is no judgment here. Stick figures are more than welcome. The focus is more upon the attributes of the “super you”. This art break is all about feeling free to truly express yourself. 

I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

Art Break Directions:

1. Imagine yourself as a superhero/heroine and jot down the answers to the following questions:
   1. What are your superpowers?
   2. What does your superhero costume look like?
   3. Where do you live?
   4. What is your superhero name?
2. Draw yourself as a superhero. Remember, there is no judgment here. Feel free to draw stick figures. This is mostly about having fun and finding inspiration in yourself.
3. Be a storyteller. Look at your notes and superhero drawing and find out why you chose what you chose. Why that quality? Why that color? What obstacles do you overcome?
4. Share your superhero! Don’t be shy! Post and add #takeanartbreak and watch others get inspired!!
