We’re so excited to share that #TheWeeklyChallenge this month has been designed by the brilliant Year 3 students at Hugh Myddelton Primary School in London. This first challenge is by Flora, Alma, Farham! 🐼 ⚽️ 
Back in June, we visited the school to run workshops during their Arts Week. 
A week of creative workshops to support students to find enjoyment in art and creativity, hold a positive self-image and confidence, discover a sense of purpose and fulfilment in artistic expression and lots more. 
We led a self portrait workshop where the students filled a drawing with words - all the things that make them who they are. Then from these words they worked together to come up with the challenges you’ll find throughout September. 
We’re looking forward to sharing your responses with the students, to show them all the creativity they have inspired. Share on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with #TheWeeklyChallenge #64MillionArtists

We usually share #TheWeeklyChallenge every Monday We usually share #TheWeeklyChallenge every Monday throughout the year, but during August, as 64 Million Artists take the month to pause, our invitation to you is this….
☁️ Spend the time you might have used doing #TheWeeklyChallenge to explore what taking a break, a pause or resting looks like to you.
As a team, we sat around a table together and discussed what rest means to each of us and here are some of our thoughts:
⚖️ Balance
🖐 Being Present
⭕️ Space
🌱 Choices
🌓 Intuition and awareness
👥 Rest from the expectation of others
👁 Sensory rest
🌈 Varied
🕒 Time to be
💻 How can we find freedom from expectations of productivity?
Whether it's an afternoon nap, a moment of daydreaming out the window, or saying 'no' to things you don't want to do, take a moment to think about what pause or rest means for you.
💡We’ll be back with #TheWeeklyChallenge on Monday 4th September, until then if you’re looking for creative inspiration, you can revisit past challenges (or submit your own!) via #TheWeeklyChallenge page via our link in bio
✨See you in September ✨

64 Million Artists are taking a pause ⏸ Last ye 64 Million Artists are taking a pause ⏸
Last year we tried, for the first time, taking the month of August off as a team - to reflect and rest after a time of navigating the pandemic and burnout. We found it worked for us to have a moment of collective pause, and will be doing it again this year.
“For us, as well as allowing a deep moment of rest from the treadmill of work and life; it’s about the opportunity to be present in other areas, including different parts of our creativity. Staff may also have caring responsibilities, children, are managing chronic illness, or want to spend quality time with family and friends. Weekends are great, but quite often they are filled with the invisible or unpaid work of life, which doesn’t always allow enough time for rest or reset. 
…We understand that it’s a privilege to have the chance to work this way and know that it isn’t available to all right now. We carefully consider our values and check we’re walking our talk…
If we’re well rested, we can do the best for our communities and be more intentional and present in that.”
👤 Laura Saxton, Head of Culture and Strategy at 64 Million Artists
✨ Resting, pausing, taking a break, looks different for each of us. In our newsletter #TheCreativeSwitch, we’ve shared some things we’ve been reading and listening to that have broadened our thinking on rest and why it’s important to us for different reasons.

“I'm Katie - I host mental wellbeing through art workshops at the library in Balham. This is an exercise that I practice sometimes at the beginning of a session with everyone as an alternative to 'traditional' meditation style breathing. The markings can then be used further to set intentions for the session or the day by adding colour and words.”

A line that was drawn responding to the cycle of breathing in and out. Slide 2: A graphic that reads: ‘Drawing Breath - Take a moment with pencil and paper to draw your breath. Close your eyes with the pencil to the paper, and as you take measured breaths mark the paper as you go. Notice if your breath goes up and down and or round and round. Change the direction of the marks when you breathe in and out. After about ten breaths, notice how your 'drawn breath' looks. Are the lines long, short or wiggly? Did you find yourself taking breath with more intention as you went along?’ #TheWeeklyChallenge]
