Color in Mandala Meditations from Yen Ha
It’s been more than a month since Cuomo put us on PAUSE over here in NYC, and while we do our part to flatten the curve by sticking with staying at home, we’re also keeping up with our evolving guide to Armchair Art Appreciation. Turns out, you don’t have to leave your living room to get all up in (and advocate for!) the arts. ‘Course we’d love for you to live with art—there’s no better way to enjoy it than updating those walls you’ve been looking at a whole lot more. We’re working with the city towards a safe way to slowly start our biz ops back up again, and we’ll keep you posted.
But in the meantime, how about some classic, calming, all-ages, arty fun? Coloring books! All the books and pages below are fantastic and freeeeee. The finished product is pretty, for sure, but if you ask us, the best part is the process. Coloring takes your mind off … all this. It’s therapeutic, grounding, an opportunity to dial back your internal dialogue. It's art-making for everybody, in this case with digitally downloadable ease. Dive in, below! And keep an eye out for our next installment of Armchair Art Appreciation.
With art for everyone,
Team 20x200
