Kennesaw-based architectural firm CROFT & Associates has launched a Quarantine Coloring Book that turns client renderings into coloring pages for kids and adults.
“We thought it would be a fun way to lift spirits and boost morale,” said Stacey Chapman, Vice President, Corporate Strategy at CROFT. “Our architects and graphic designers loved repurposing the renderings. It meant a lot to them to know that their work would now be a source of joy and inspiration.”
CROFT selected renderings of community mainstays it has designed in recent years, such as fire stations, community centers and churches. To add to the educational component, each coloring activity offers fun facts about the building and the role it plays in the community.
The series began with CROFT’s rendering of a local fire station. Artists were encouraged to share finished pieces on social media and tag their own neighborhood fire station with a message of thanks.
“We wanted the coloring book to be entertaining, educational and uplifting,” added Chapman. “We saw it as a way to foster connection and celebrate community, especially those in our community who are getting us through these challenging times.”
How to Participate: The downloadable coloring pages are available on CROFT’s website and Facebook page. Coloring artists can submit their finished works into the CROFT Quarantine Coloring Book Competition. Completed artwork can be submitted via CROFT’s Facebook (@CroftandAssociates) or Instagram (@croftandassociates) pages or by email to schapman@croftae.com. Artists are encouraged to use the hashtag #CROFTColors.
All entries must be received by noon Fridays. Winners are selected weekly. The prize is a kid’s architecture kit consisting of a sketch pad, colored pencils, an architectural scale and architecture book.For more information on CROFT, visit www.croftae.com.
