WEEK 44
Hey there, thanks for joining us for Week 44 of HOMwork 2020!
This week, we have the amazing Gia Graham as a guest teacher!!!
Gia Graham is a lettering artist, illustrator and Skillshare Top Teacher based in Atlanta, originally from sunny Barbados. Gia credits her island background for influencing the vibrant colors and lush florals and foliage she often incorporates into her work. Over her 20 year creative career, she has worked in corporate graphic design, run her own stationery business and now focuses on licensing her art to product-based companies.
From Gia:
This year has been a wild ride. We've all been under a great deal of stress and it can feel like moments of joy are hard to come by. For the sake of self care, I think it's important to intentionally seek out little moments of joy every day, acknowledge and celebrate them!
What little things bring you joy? Is it that first warm cookie right out of the oven (mmm, heaven!) or receiving a package of goodies you forgot you ordered (so fun!)? Those things definitely spark joy for me but number one on my list has to be my plant babies. During quarantine, I planted a little flower garden and each bright new bloom was a reason to celebrate... and now that the weather is cooling down, my indoor plant babies are giving me a reason to smile every day :)
Your assignment: Think of one small thing that brings you joy and celebrate it through your art!
Don’t forget to use the hashtag #HOMwork2020 & tag @iamgiagraham and @homsweethom when you post your work, too! We’ll be sharing our favorites in our Stories all week!
