Staring at a blank page and can’t think of what to draw? We’ve all been there! The #blendartchallenge was created to inspire you to get creative and draw a random prompt that challenges you to blend a descriptive word with a noun into one cohesive composition.
How to do the #blendartchallenge:
Using the prompt key below, simply use your birthday to get your drawing prompt of 2 random words. Creatively blend your two words into one composition using any art tool of your choice. When finished, share your work by posting it with the #blendartchallenge.
*Hey teachers! Below is printable flyer and artist worksheet available for purchase that you can use with your classes to easily implement this art challenge into your class curriculum. This is a great lesson to build creative thinking skills with your student artists and can also be used for a ready-to-go sub plan!*
Artist examples to inspire:
For example, my birthday is March 30th, so my drawing prompt is disappearing spider. Check out my solution below!

- Consider how you can add words to your work to build more meaning
- Incorporate other subjects to your two words
- Consider how the medium you choose can help to build more depth to your #blendartchallenge
