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.

On day 15, halfway through our 30 day challenge, I introduced inverse perspective, in which objects grow larger as they’re farther away. Beautiful examples of inverse perspective can be found in Chinese, Japanese, and Indian artworks, as well as Byzantine. Here are a few by adventurous artists who responded to the challenge:
Notations A multi-media art show about migration, music, health, and family. Lucy Garnett seeks to understand the themes of migration, music, health, and family by breaking them down and rebuilding them into sculpture, print, painting, and installation. Reception: Saturday Dec 14, 5-8pmOn display: December 14, 2019 – end of March 2020Open: Monday through Friday, 8-5pmShow …
Today is the 10th day of our 30 Day Challenge. We are 1/3 done! Sunday is observational drawing day, so I’m sharing an exercise from school, with a twist. Contour Lines “Contour” is the French word for outline, so contour lines are, quite simply, outlines. Contours describe the shape along the edges of a thing. …
Isn’t this a lovely colored pencil drawing? Klimt made more drawings, but they deserve their own room. They’re mostly nude women with their crotches on display. Take your colored pencils anywhere!
