One year ago in March, to protect our students and teachers from a new coronavirus, the Seattle Artist League moved our classes online. The virus was declared a national emergency, and we went into quarantine. We have now been in quarantine for thirteen months.
Through this year, we have met each other online to draw, paint, print, and share community. In a time of hardship and isolation, it was good to meet and make work together. New teachers and students – now free to teach and take classes anywhere in the world – came to join us. In the last year, the League has grown in numbers, and our artistic voice as a school has evolved.
This collection of artworks has been grouped with no association of genre, medium, artist, or online class. They have been selected and placed here so that they can complement each other, just as we hang a gallery wall for one of our all-inclusive Big League Anniversary shows.
This is one in a series of posts featuring artworks produced through this pandemic. In this terrible year, we have made some good artworks. More to come!

Between 1914 and 1917, Matisse made a series of 69 monotypes, the only monotypes of his career. Matisse created his black-and-white monotypes by covering a copper plate with black ink and then lightly and swiftly scratching into the pigment with a tool, so that the linework emerged through the dark ink ground. To transfer the …
“Creative people make more use of their mental raw material and practice less intellectual regulation.” So says this blog. A lot of attention is put into how to create great ideas. But what about the dumb ones? Today’s challenge is to draw something inspired by the phrase “Well that was a dumb idea.” Yup. And …
