Life in the digital age has become tiringly monotonous. From home to office and back to home, we feel a certain level of stagnancy taking over us. Desktops, tablets and mobile phones - this has become our entire life. While working is important, so is appreciating art to unwind, every once in a while. So, if you have your day off from work and want to awaken the artist in you, here are artsy things that you can do.

Embrace your creative side and turn your day off into an artistic adventure. Here are some artsy ideas to infuse inspiration and joy into your well-deserved break:

Outdoor sketching

Head to a local park, garden, or any scenic spot with a sketchpad and pencils. Capture the beauty of nature through your sketches, letting the surroundings inspire your artistic expression. Frame and keep this painting as a reminder of your tranquil day.
