I had a totally different post for today, but in light of the recent news, I thought you all might enjoy more of an escape, so I replaced the prepared post with Argus-eyed, above. Coincidentally, the image I had prepared for the other challenge applies for both, and I didn’t do that on purpose. Here’s a preview of next week’s challenge …maybe?
In 1905, Henri Matisse and his friend Andre Derain both painted Matisse’s wife Amélie in her Japanese kimono. The two artist’s works are similar, yet with some interesting differences. While Derain divided the canvas into swatches of color, he described the face in a more formal manner. In the other painting, Matisse has divided the …

Artists need to be able to give and receive feedback on their work, but “critique” is usually synonymous with criticism, and “I like it” doesn’t offer much help to a painter who wants to grow. So how do we see, think about, and evaluate works of art in a way that helps us see, grow, and support …
30SAL Challenge: Argus-eyed
Thursdays are vocabulary days for our 30 Day Creative Challenge, and our inspiration for today comes from Greek Mythology.
Argus-eyed
Origin
Early 17th century in Greek mythology Argos was the name of a watchman with a hundred eyes. (Source: Lexico)
Animalia
Argus is referenced in the scientific names of at least six animals, each of which bears a pattern of eye spots: reptiles Cnemaspis argus, Eremias argus, Sibon argus, the Argus goanna Varanus panoptes and Sphaerodactylus argus; the pheasant Argusianus argus; and the cowry Arestorides argus.

You know how this works…
Set a timer for 20 minutes. When the timer chimes, continue if you wish, but 20 minutes is a win.
Post your work to the new Padlet for January 5-10.
