Day 26 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 26 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Connect the Object
💡Designed By 64 Million Artists Community
Pick 5 random objects around you and gather them together.
Find a connection between all of them, no matter how random your selection! What do they have in common? 
Write about what connects them. The connection might just be you! You could write about what they all mean to you. Do you feel differently about them now you see them together and in relation to one another? 
If you can't make a connection between them, create one! Write a story that includes all the items and link them through a narrative.

Day 25 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 25 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Window Reflection
💡Designed By artist Graeme Roger, in Partnership with @luminatescotland
.
Use your phone or camera to capture either the view from your window.
Don’t overthink! Take what feels honest, not perfect.
Consider how light, shadow, time of day, or weather influence the view.
Take multiple shots, from different angles, with/without you in it.
Has your view of the world, or yourself, changed over time?
How does the world appear through your current lens?
"I collaborate on creative projects with people of all ages and I’ve had the privilege of working with older people in care home settings. I use cameras and technology and this has been a very accessible way to make work. This prompt is designed in a way that can be done as a solo challenge or one with a carer, friend or relative. Participants of all ages can give it a try."

Day 24 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 - one more wee Day 24 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 - one more week to go! Here’s an apt prompt to explore what we’ll be saying goodbye to in January! 
⭐️Creative Prompt: A Funeral for...
💡Designed By 64 Million Artists Community 
Think of something you have been meaning to let go of.
It might be a chapter in your life, an old habit, a piece of clothing or an old banana in the fruit bowl...
Hold a funeral for it. Celebrate or mark the time you had together with it. 
If it's a feeling or event in your life, you might write your thoughts down and speak it aloud - letting it go into the wind. 
If it's an object, you might pass it forwards, re-purpose it, or simply take the time to say thank you, and goodbye. 
This prompt was co-created in a 64MA community group with @deadgoodlegacies, creative death workers and arts-based death educators.The brilliant 64 Million Artists Community also includes @mindbodyandearth @emmuk74 @kellomallow @kfoxmusic @windowwanderland @riannapatterson_ @yurupari.london and more!

Day 23 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 23 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Pen Explorer
💡Designed By Hannah Gorf @nhsgloucestershire
Imagine your pen is an explorer. 
Begin on the left hand side of a page, what kind of landscape or path does the explorer first encounter? Spiky mountains, winding squiggly roads, a deep sea? Continue to take your pen through a landscape of textures until you reach the end of the page. 
Can you recognise any patterns in the journey of your pen, and any journeys you have taken in your life?

Day 23 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026
Day 22 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 22 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: I Aspire…
💡Designed By Public Libraries with @librariesconnected
Use the writing template below to explore the things that you can do, or the things that you know, because of the place or community you are from. 
I come from....therefore I CAN.....
"In my library, I notice that local young people can lack aspiration, and tell me it’s because of where they’re from. They say if they were from a big city they could do this, and that, but not here. I want them to think about what they CAN do, because of what they know about themselves and the world, BECAUSE of where they’re from. It could be a really small thing!"
