ARTventure Creative Prompts!

ARTventure in August is a month-long creative journey through the world’s most iconic galleries, masterpieces, and muses — with a playful twist. Each of the 31 daily prompts invites you to imagine yourself inside the artwork. Sketch, paint, collage or doodle — whatever your style, these prompts are your invitation to make art history yours!

Here is a drag and print version:

And here it is:

1. Undulating at the Uffizi

Strike a muse-like pose and let your limbs flow like drapery in a Renaissance fresco.

2. Bawling with Birth of Venus

Draw yourself overcome with emotion, standing soggy-eyed before Botticelli’s seashell superstar.

3. Pondering Primavera

Sketch your inner thoughts as you drift through an enchanted garden of eternal spring.

4. Marvelling at Mars and Venus

Capture your reaction to the god of war snoring while Venus smirks — romance or roast?

5. Tiptoeing through the Tate

Did you just miss the last exit bell? Sneak through the contemporary masterpieces, wide-eyed and a little worried!

6. Lollygoggling at the Louvre

Home of the Mona Lisa and a few other paintings.

7. Peeking at the Pre-Raphaelites

Draw yourself amidst flowing hair and dreamy stares.

8. Fainting at the Feet of David

Overwhelmed by Michelangelo’s marble magnificence?!

Turn the light, the pearls, and the silence into a runway moment.

Elongate your neck and your imagination  mid-poetic sigh.

Gaze up to that heavenly ceiling drama.

An over-the-shoulder pose with a neck that’s just a little too long.

20. Gawking at Guernica

Imagine your reaction if you stumbled into Picasso’s most intense canvas — mid-scream or mid-sketch?

21. Sunbathing with the Sunflowers

Soak up Van Gogh’s golden glow — are you one of the flowers, or just visiting?

22.Wading into Waterlilies

Step into Monet’s pond (literally!) — draw the scene from inside the swirl.

23. Partying in a Piero della Francesca Painting

Geometric halos and solemn stares — what happens if someone cracks a joke?

24. Posing with the Muses of Gauguin

Reclining Polynesian goddess, surrounded by parrots, patterns, and maybe a coconut or two.

25. Wandering with the Woman with a Parasol

Hold tight to your parasol and let the wind ruffle your skirt.

26. Hiding in a Hieronymus Bosch

Find yourself tucked into a surreal world of flying fish and mischievous snails.

27. Spinning in a Starry Night

Who snuck snacks into the hallowed halls? Oh, it’s you with crumbs and a sketchpad.

28. Daydreaming with Degas’ Dancers

Capture yourself backstage with the ballerinas — are you stretching or snoozing?

29. Painting with the Powdered Shadows of Laurencin
Use her signature shades: dusty rose, dove grey, baby blue, and ballet slipper white.

Halos slightly askew, wings ruffled — virtue with a side of mischief.
