Comic
As an alternative to the creative challenge posted every day, there was an open invitation to create a comic about 2020, but then 2020 leaked into 2021, and there wasn’t much energy for it. We did have one post, though, from Cheryl Chudyk. This is from January 30, after a string of bad police incidents in the news. The second panel is referring to an incident locally, in which a Tacoma police officer drove his car through a crowd of people. It was a tough month, and a tough year.

The challenge was to draw something using inverse perspective, in which objects that are farther away are drawn larger than what is up close, as seen in Byzantine, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian artworks. (My apologies for not including India’s use of multiple perspectives in the …
The Migration Series In 1941, Jacob Lawrence, then just twenty-three years old, completed a series of sixty paintings about the Great Migration, the mass movement of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North. Lawrence’s work is a landmark in the history of modern art and a key example of the way that …
