This week's Visual Arts Challenge is the Exquisite Corpse exercise. It is an exercise that is really fun to do with whoever you are quarantining with.
This exercise gives us a glimpse into the creative process during the Surrealist movement. It is fun and easy for everyone involved. I am warning you all in advance.....there will be plenty of laughter with this challenge. Although this works best without any limits, you can always set themes for you and your family to guide them in their challenge (Disney characters, superheroes, household objects, transportation are a few themes that work really well). Here is a very simple 3 minutes tutorial on how to create an Exquisite Corpse. |
This week's art challenge is to create an optical illusion. You can do this on paper, with objects around the house or digitally, it is completely up to you. I will be working on my own optical illusion and I will post it if I receive 10 optical illusion submissions.
Good luck and have fun with it. If you are having trouble finding ideas, just search "art optical illusions" on YouTube. Here are some cool ideas I found: 1) Patterns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmA69mffKLo 2) Objects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUkA4ReI0Ho |
Hello lovely people. This week's art challenge is to produce a realistic still life artwork with 1-3 objects in it. For this challenge, you will be working on your understanding of light and shadows, proportions, as well as brush stroke.
Start practicing with one object: 1) shape 2) proportions 3) details 4) shading Take your time and keep working at it until you get it right. Try to select objects that will challenge you to improve. The first 2 videos are great at giving you an example to practice with. The 3rd video is if you want to really challenge yourself to produce some really incredible still life creations. |
