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.

Need some stress relief? I just had the best time making this — part 1 of my #socialstudiosketch assignment for the day from socialstudiobaltimore. Soda cartons. Scissors. Glue. I had a plan but went in an entirely different direction. I just played without worrying about the final product — and I am in love with it.
So once again, I didn’t exactly follow directions on my #socialstudiosketch assignment for today from socialstudiobaltimore. Because my hand now looks so much like my mom’s, I inserted some words I had written about her sewing dresses for me and Sondra:
(Today’s #socialstudiosketch assignment from socialstudiobaltimore was to make and illustrate a piece of blackout poetry. I used two pages from Grace: A Memoir, by Grace Coddington, creative director of Vogue)

8/100 #100dayproject - curled up cat - #littledrawingsdaily #socialstudiosketch
Bits of colorful cotton left behind by others
Held in metal bins for perusing
Her talented hands sifted through
Divining treasures for us
Sturdy Singer at the ready
She fashioned dresses for every occasion
Three simple shapes
Altered with buttons, pockets, rick rack
Into endless varieties
Her magic transforming remnants into childhood couture
Day 26/44
tarot cards predicting death
someone is leaving
my key in the door
a suitcase by his side
It wasn’t so sudden after all
obviously not the best of circumstances
a gray seascape of cliffs linger shyly
bordering my winding journey
a mad scramble
Sundays
Sundays are for making things together. Social Studio Sundays are art initiatives you can do together as a family, at home with easy to obtain materials. Join us on Instagram Live.

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.
