Social Media Art
with Social Studio
Let’s make art together … wherever you are.
Why? Because learning and growing is a social activity.
Artists of all backgrounds and skills deserve a community built on inspiration, support, feedback, and empathy.
Though Social Studio’s social-media-based art activities you’ll:
- Build confidence
- Find greater self-awareness
- Increase your range of ideas and possible outcomes
- Find that the creativity and perspective skills you develop in art can be used in all areas of life.
- See yourself and others through art and together discover how to be ourselves.
Get started by following us on social (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) and join the daily fun!
Social-Media Activities
Sketch
Practice. Practice. Practice! Social Studio Sketch is a daily practice of responding to an open-ended prompt with a sketch challenge as a way to explore and express our perspectives. Sharing our work teaches us to see and respect the way others see too.
Sundays
An informal introduction of an art or craft to a virtual community on Instagram Live. Social Studio Sundays presents projects you can do together as a family, at home with easy to find materials.
Sessions
Just because we’re not together doesn’t mean we can’t make art together. These group classes are designed to develop art-making and creative thinking skills on various topics.
Stories
Let’s read and get inspired to make art. Social Studio Stories creates opportunities to read and relate to stories from the children’s book collection at Social Studio. The story is followed by related art activities.

Shadow painting #socialstudiosundays socialstudiobaltimore
What I made today! A block weaving as instructed by socialstudiobaltimore. It was so easy to make, and I have a basement full of yarn and a few more of these chunky burlap-covered square canvases.
Looking for an afternoon activity? Catch the IGLive by hitting the pink Social Studio logo to watch 14 minutes of “how to block weave” in preparation for #socialstudioSundays STICK WEAVING LIVE @4pm #creativecommunity #stickweaving #familyfiberarts #stayathome #artactivitiesforall #artforall #freelesson

Yep. I did it! I called it Social (Distance) Studio! A bit over 6 months ago, I started Social Studio - a local art studio in Roland Park. An amazing neighborhood of people who love the arts and community building. And, a neighborhood full of children!!! There are 7 schools in walking distance. The studio, albeit small, is packed with visual inspiration, good energy, lots of books, and almost every art supply available. Now, because of the current coronavirus pandemic, I’m expanding the studio to reach people in their homes, wherever they may be. It is my goal to bring you the creativity and connection cultivated in the actual studio through my “Studio (Distance) Studio” programs. Here they are: #socialstudiosundays #socislstudiosketch #socialstudiosessions #socialstudiostories #socialstudiosayings - You can get more information on the website: socialstudioart.com and in IG highlights on @socialstudiobaltimore profile page. Be well & be creative! ❤️
Weavings are a wonderful medium for expressing how we are all interconnected #allinthistogether - did you put #socialstudiosundays stick weaving outdoors for others to enjoy? Send me a pic!

Getting into summer mode... lots of online art opportunities for ages 5-10, 8-15, 12-16 and adults! #socialstudiosessions
I try to use the summer months to gain new inspiration & rethink what I do and how I do things, so thought it would be a good time to help others doing the same: I'm hosting my next Social Media Strategy Workshop on July 28 💭
Planning some new Social Studio Sessions & Workshops, which Social Media & Digital related topics would you like to learn more about? 🤳🏻 #socialstudiosessions #igersvienna #creativehappylife #girlbosses
My first online art class with socialstudiobaltimore and probably the first time I have used watercolors in maybe 40 years. Loved it! Great #socialstudiosessions. Love my little succulents from crimsoncloverfloral, Until we are done with this darned virus, you will just have to trust me that the finished watercolor looks better than the photo!
The first pic is an Elizabeth Murray painting. She pushed painting into sculptural shape constructions. The kids made their own playing with composition to make music for the eyes. #elizabethmurray #kidsart #shapeshifting #socialstudiosessions
Kk. Here it is again. Took this photo upstairs in the dining room. Fluorescent lights in the basement. Hate the way they make everything look grey. Thanks again, socialstudiobaltimore for a great #socialstudiosessions.
Got to love the holidays!
#socialstudiosessions focused on color blending with watercolors and colored pencils and other basic watercolor techniques.
Post what you did at #socialstudiosessions - if you want to see the LIVE session it’s in stories now!
Using colored pencils at #socialstudiosessions
#socialstudiosessions plant painting by @ptif Thanks for joining the LIVE class!
The dots represent people (and animals) they love, someone they’re learning to love, and someone they’ve yet to meet. Then, they paint around the circles until there is a connection. Then, the shape changes and they start painting the “outside”. Eventually everything connects. We are all connected. While painting they talked about their family and friends, about the new school year, about warm & cool colors, and more. #socialstudiosessions #socialstudiosummer
It will help you rethink/think about the way you can use your channels, set goals for your online activities and give you new ideas 💡
Space is limited, to keep it cosy & interactive! More info and sign up via the link in my bio. Would love to see some of you there 💚
