Have some time on a lazy day and want to do an art project? Now's your chance to contribute to the arts at Harvard by participating in a new project called Lazy Day Pocket Cards.
The project, conceived by Sarah S. Zhang '11, who is also a Crimson arts editor, and Christine S. An '11, an arts comper, was partially based on the community arts model of popular website and books PostSecret.
Right now, An and Zhang are circulating index cards with thought-provoking prompts like "Write your own eulogy" and "Draw what your child would look like if you married Elvis." Students can suggest prompts and request cards to fill out on the project's website.
Once the completed cards have been collected, An and Zhang plan to redistribute them in packs of ten during Arts First.
"We want to engage people who wouldn't normally consider themselves to be artists." Zhang said.
An added, "Art shouldn’t be so intimidating."
