Stuck On What To Share?
Here are some Squiggla-themed prompts to spark your mark-making:
- Start with a dot and test out playful ways to invent a dotty composition
- Let the marks feel their way around the page, be dynamic across the whole space
- How does it feel to be in your creative zone – energised and messy or quiet and reflective? Respond to those feelings through your mark-making
- Take a chance with marks and find some surprising, unexpected ways to create
