You don’t always need to draw to tell a visual story.
In Day 14 of 20 Days to Spark Creativity, artist Samantha Dion Baker shows how to capture a day using collage, paint, handwriting, found paper, and color, no detailed drawing required. This is about preserving moments, textures, and feelings using what’s already around you.
In this challenge, you’ll:
Build a sketchbook page using scraps, packaging, tissue paper, stickers, and paint
Let elements fall off the page to create energy and movement
Use color to reflect mood, weather, food, and memory
Treat everyday materials as meaningful creative tools
This is a low-pressure, highly freeing exercise that reminds you creativity doesn’t start with a blank page, it starts with your day. Tear things up. Glue them down. Let imperfection do the heavy lifting.
