Art experts have confirmed that sketches discovered hidden inside an Italian art gallery’s walls are the missing 30SAL Challenges from the Pathways collection. A gardener found them while clearing ivy from the walls of Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery in Piacenza, northern Italy. “It’s with no small emotion that I can tell you the work is authentic,” the Piacenza prosecutor Ornella Chicca told reporters at a news conference. “They have been missing since January 4, 2021” Ruthie V reported. The disappearance had been one of the art world’s biggest mysteries, and now you can view them all in this free and public blog post.
Pathways
This “Pathways” challenge was to pretend that you are a little ant, and you want to walk from somewhere in the middle of an image to all 4 edges of the frame or rectangle, taking in all the sights along the way. As an ant, you can only walk on pathways, aka lines. You can’t travel across the blank surfaces. You need a line to follow. These lines can be outlines of objects and shadows, so if you have objects touching each other and touching the edge of the rectangle that is good, but lines can also be within the surfaces, like woodgrain or scribbles across a table. Simply put, your challenge is to make pathways connecting all objects to each other, and connecting to all four edges of the rectangle.
The work produced in response to the Pathways prompt included the strongest work from the widest variety of artists. If you want to strengthen your compositions, think pathways.
