Take a photograph that captures a mundane domestic scene, but with one detail amiss. Maybe it’s the inside of your refrigerator, but with a book in it. Whatever you can think of that would make the viewer look twice. Think carefully about the composition of the piece and stage the scene as much as you can.

Island Head, an artwork by Aaron D’Souza, 10
Aaron D’Souza, 10San Diego, CA Island Head Aaron D’Souza, 10 I created this image in Photoshop which I have been doing for one year. This is a picture of me as an island. To me, this image is an inspiration that even though we are alone amidst the Coronavirus we can still be happy as shown in the image. The way I created this picture is by attaching separate rock textures on certain areas of my face. Then I added the coral and the lighting to make it look natural. Finally, I added the ships, sharks, and the whale. Island Head (digital art with photoshop)by Aaron D’Souza, 10, San Diego, CA
Daily Creativity #67: Recreate a Still Life Painting
Still life paintings are full of hidden meaning. Look carefully at “Vanitas” by Pieter Claesz (1597-1661). Make a list of at least 6 items that you can identify in it, and think about what they convey. What would some equivalent objects be in today’s world? Now, find those objects in your own home. Arrange them in a similar composition to the original painting, and make a drawing, painting, or photograph of your own.
