My summer internship at Adobe was all about making creativity a habit and getting over the blank canvas syndrome.
Rubi Inspire gives you a daily prompt that's culturally relevant and helps kids be creative without hitting the question "what should I make today?" while keeping a little healthy competition on as well.
Linking to the broader Adobe ecosystem, we used Express templates as a starting point for some of the activities in Inspire, helping kids get creating in seconds.
Knowing that streaks are a double-edged sword, we found they work well for building initial momentum and can evolve into something less intimidating over time.
Friends and family can draw on the same challenge. Makes creativity social instead of solitary.
New challenge each day. Today: draw a Madhubani-style fish. See what others made. Get a quick tutorial if you need it.
A simplified Fresco mobile toolbar makes drawing fun. Kids can draw on paper and capture with Adobe Capture, or draw digitally and bring artwork to life with animation templates.
Draw every day, keep your streak. Miss a day, start over. Simple motivation that works.
Invite friends or family. Same challenge, different screens. Celebrate your drawings.
The platform that inspired Inspire's template-based approach.
Another Adobe project focused on creativity for kids.
