Art and Sports have a lot of things in common! They are both ways to build confidence, express yourself, team build, and are goal oriented. Why do we play sports? Why do we make art? Perhaps because they are both fun activities to do!

For this art activity we will be thinking about the process of playing sports, and the process of making art. What does it feel like to run across a soccer field with your friends? What does it feel like to pass the basketball to your teammate? What does it feel like to dip your paint brush in a colour and paint across a page? What does it feel like to fill a page with colour?

Let’s focus on the action of playing, and the action of making, instead of the final outcome. This way, we can challenge perfectionism and remind ourselves that playing sports, or making art is about the fun of creativity and expression, not being perfect!
