How do I start using the Art at Home projects?

You don’t need a background in art or a studio space to get started. Just use your phone, tablet or computer to explore your options and choose whatever sparks your curiosity. Want to rip paper for texture? There’s a guide for that. Feeling musical? Try Painting Music inspired by local artist Art Rosenbaum. Most activities require only a few basic supplies like paper, glue, scissors and just a little imagination. From Toddler Tuesday-inspired projects to reflective adult exercises, these art activities are an open door. Walk through it whenever you like.

Are these projects only for kids and families?

Children and adults alike can enjoy exploring their creative side through the Art at Home program. No matter if you’re a teacher looking for new material, a stressed-out grad student needing a break or a retiree exploring something new, there’s something for everyone. No grades, no pressure. Just open-ended, low-stakes creativity you can pick up (and put down) anytime.

Can I use these activities in a classroom?

Teachers across Georgia and beyond use these art activities to enhance learning in subjects like visual arts, language arts and even social studies. We designed each project with flexibility in mind, so it’s easy to adapt for different age groups, class sizes or teaching styles. You’ll find over 130 projects with built-in prompts, learning objectives, and supply lists. Many of them rely on simple materials like paper, glue and found objects. Featured artists or rotating exhibitions directly inspired some lessons, while others invite students to reflect on emotions, cultural traditions or the environment.

Are instructions included for each project?

They are, and they’re designed to feel approachable, not overwhelming. Each Art at Home project comes with step-by-step instructions, clear goals and a list of suggested materials (most of which you probably already have on hand). Some even feature visual guides or example images to help spark your creativity. Want to explore more? You’ll find related activities and inspiration on our Youth and Family Programs page, which highlights both in-person and at-home options for every kind of learner.

Let Curiosity Lead the Way

What if you didn’t need a studio — or even a plan — to start creating?

You open a drawer. Pull out some pastels. Tear a piece of paper just because it feels good. That’s how it starts. These art activities aren’t just projects, they’re portals. To memory. To imagination. To connection. One spark. That’s all it takes.
