You might collage, sketch, create with words, food or pencils.

Every day through the month we share a new, fun and quick creative prompt. Each prompt is an invitation to explore your unique creativity as a tool for connection to yourself, others and the world around you. Let’s begin the adventure!
Day 1 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Versions of You
💡Designed By 64 Million Artists
Imagine you are in a photobooth, ready to capture four different images of you. Capture four photos or drawings of yourself, in four different ways. 
We all have different sides to ourselves, moods we find ourselves in, roles we might play in communities or relationships, or ways we respond to our environment.
You could choose to capture the four versions of you during one day…waking up, on a commute, eating lunch, relaxing at home. It could be four feelings…silly, angry, surprised, relieved. It could be the four versions of you during one week…in solitude, in a public place, caregiving or socialising.

Every week in the lead up to the new year, we are sharing a creative prompt from the archives….this week we throwback to #TheJanuaryChallenge 2023
☕ Glorious by Members of the Associates Leadership Programme at @artshomelessint 
Choose an object around you - any object, from a coffee cup to a pen. Take two minutes to glorify that object. Write or speak your 'ode' to that object, like it's the greatest and best thing that you have ever known.
Here is an example from Associate Mitchel…
"Oh morning coffee cup,
your body recyclable,
your protective sleeve, 
and humble plastic lid to stop your precious contents escaping.
Your contents has a texture like velvet, your warmth like a velvet lover’s caress.
A day without you is like a day without breath.
You energise, revitalise, 
you bring me to life, 
Oh coffee cup!"
The Associates Programme is the first cultural leadership programme for creatives who are or have been homeless. @artshomelessint l is a global network, working to bring positive change to people, projects and policy in homelessness through arts and creativity.
