This fun fold-out phone art and writing activity is a cool way to encourage students to reflect on 2022, set new goals, and make resolutions for 2023.

Engage students creatively with this relatable New Years, All About Me' Instagram-style cell phone construction, art, and writing resource.

Ideal for use as a first-week back activity or as an art-specific or self-reflection lesson.

Invite students to cut out and make their own fold-out booklet style art-phone, and complete the image-making on the front cover and the writing prompt elements inside.

Choose from a selection of 'phone cases' or back covers to complete the activity.

I have included an editable word doc version too, so you will be able to edit and update if you would like to continue to use the activity beyond 2023.
