April Playbook: State of Mine

Glad you're here.
Did you know every state has a state bird, a state tree, and a state flower? There are state flags, natural resources, and landmarks unique to each, as well as foods, customs, and traditions. 

Using your state as inspiration, the State of Mine Playbook challenges you use your skills to interpret some of the things that make your state what it is. Home.

I live in Maine, so I'll use my state and some of my work as a model.

My project work will reflect the things I like to do: collage, lettering, writing, and illustration.

I’m not a singer or musician, so my work won't reflect song or music. But, if you're a musician, you can learn your state song ... or write a new one. If you’re a photographer, you can select from photographs you have on hand to create a slideshow or documentary.
Let's find out what makes your state so special
