The Creative Corona Chronicles

As all of us watch, experience and manage the challenges and opportunities of these days, we are also forced to be lone warriors in self-quarantining and virtualising many private and academic aspects of life…

Therefore, CSPS started a drawing challenge as an alternative way of giving our eyes a break and our brain a calming – yet inspiring – challenge. Every Monday a prompt is sent around to members, inviting them to switch off their computer, take a pen and paper and draw, scribble, doodle.

Find the results in this ongoing gallery!
