One day, I was busy drawing and coloring. My mom peeked around the corner and gave me a big smile. She said, “You didn’t make a mess; you made a glowing masterpiece!” I was so happy to hear that!
When I turned around to see what she was talking about, I saw all my scribbles on my easel. They weren’t on the ceiling, the walls, or my lamp. They were all on one big piece of paper, and it looked like the most amazing art ever!
Did you know that some people think unicorns shouldn’t scribble? Maybe it’s because they sometimes eat crayons or make a mess. But if my unicorn had never scribbled, she wouldn’t have learned how to make such a beautiful masterpiece.

Here are some fun things you can do to make your own masterpiece:
Remember, art is all about having fun and expressing yourself. So grab your crayons and start creating your own masterpiece today!
Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects that match the colors of your crayons. Can you find something red, blue, yellow, and green? Once you find them, try drawing those objects on a piece of paper. This will help you observe colors in your everyday life and use them in your art.
Nature’s Art: Take a walk outside and collect small items like leaves, twigs, or flowers. Use these natural materials to create a picture by arranging them on a piece of paper. You can glue them down to make your own nature collage. Think about how the colors and shapes you find in nature can inspire your art.
Story Art: Think of a story you love or make up your own. Draw a picture that shows your favorite part of the story. Share your drawing with a friend or family member and tell them about the story. This will help you connect storytelling with art and use your imagination to create something unique.
