Congratulations! This is the 30th day of our 30 day challenge. Well done all of you. I posted my favorites from week 1 and week 2. I’ll post week 3 soon.
Artists who completed all 30 challenges will be eligible to win special prizes, but you don’t have to have completed all 30 to participate, or to win a prize. Did you post every day in January? Let us know by adding your name to the last column in today’s Padlet.
If you’ve been following the challenges closely, you may remember that on January 28, I asked for you to submit your creative challenge ideas. I received a wide variety of project inspirations, but according to my own rules I could only pick one. The winning idea for today is from Karen Bell.
Novel View
Capture a spot in your home you’ve looked at a thousand times but see it anew from an unusual vantage point:
Lay on your back or climb the wall!
Look upside down
Spy through water in a glass, semi transparent curtains, or other transforming layer
Peek through a crack in a door or within objects on a shelf, or plant with leaves, or some other framing device
Did this help you find novelty again within the seemingly mundane?
This is a view of the underside of my living room lamp. It struck me as having some cool geometry.

Max Ernst used texture rubbings to overcome his fear of the white canvas, and ignite his imagination. “Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.” Max Ernst, 1891-1976 The embedded video preview does not appear to be working, so please click …
Pathways are directional marks and shapes for our eyes to follow across a 2 dimensional artwork. They are a powerful compositional tool to keep the viewer’s eyes engaged and moving around a composition. They’re also great for artists to practice, because they emphasize that if we’re to think compositionally, each part must play a role …

You know this already: When I don’t schedule creative time, I lose it. But you might not know this: When I schedule creative time with people who care about me, I’m far more likely to show up.
