Since part of this January 30 Day Creative Challenge is to exercise your creativity, and part of it is to connect with others who are doing the same, this year I had the brilliant idea of fostering a buddy system. In addition to sharing projects, I was thinking that a creative buddy could provide a little positive pressure when you weren’t quite motivated to make your goal that week. It was a nice idea, but then I learned that quite a few of you are satelite members, which makes the buddy system rather complicated and exclusionary. Oops!
So if you’d like to take on the challenge in teams of two, you’re welcome to do so. But if you’re flying solo, you are still eligible for fame, fortune, and success.
Post your creative goal to social media. Use our tag #seattleartistleague2020 so we can find you.
“I’m joining #seattleartistleague2020 this January. Stay tuned! I’m about to unleash my weird and wonderful creativity 30 days in a row.”
Fame and Fortune
Special prizes will be given to people who complete all 30 challenges, but you don’t have to complete them all to participate. Make your own goals! For instance, you can do 3 a week, every weekday, or all 30.
Put in the Time
Remember, our goal is not a perfect drawing. Our goal is 20 minutes of creative time. After 20 minutes, if you want to keep working on the project you can, but the goal is 20 minutes, and no matter what happens with your project, 20 minutes is a win! If you worked for 20 minutes and you really don’t want to show the product of your work, take a messy photo of your work area, your inky hands, or your exacerbated face. You put in the time. Document it creatively. It counts!
Projects must be posted within 48 hours of the initial release.
