Bird + December = Decembird

It is not even close to being as abstract as Huevember ☺ you need to draw a bird (every day for the whole month of December, hence the name).

Art Challenge 10 – Week 1: Left Hand https://lifestylearchitects.club/art-challenge-10-week-1-left-hand/ Sun, 04 Jul 2021 17:33:25 +0000 https://lifestylearchitects.club/?p=1880

Art Challenge 10
July 1st – September 11th
Crème de la crème
Week 1: Left Hand


So, here we are with our first task!
We chose this challenge as one of the best. The point is to draw something with your non-dominant hand. For many of us it would be left hand. For some – right. Just choose the hand you are least comfortable with.

One more way to do this challenge is Left vs Right hand. Draw the same object twice with your both hands.

“Researcher and professionals that started researching about brains since 1930 believe that left brain is a rational brain, which is tightly related with the IO, rational thinking, arithmetic thinking, verbal, segmental, focus, serial (linier), finding the differences, and time management, Meanwhile right brain is the part of brain that controlled emotional thinking, which is tightly related to EQ, intuitive character, spatial thinking, visual, holistic, diffuse, parallel thinking (lateral), finding the similarities and not depending on the time.”

Journal of Education and Practice, 2016

We believe this task can help you get more creative and develop both parts of your brain!

It’s been a difficult year (again). So, let’s blow off steam by drawing, sketching and creating.

Art Challenge 10
Week #8
August 31 – September 7
Object
🤩


Our next challenge: object.

Object was always important for artists. Why not drawing something right in front of you?

Make sure to have your pencils or watercolors ready (if you don’t have any, get all the stuff here in our favorite Blick Art Shop).

But in 16th century it became a whole new genre.
Here is an interesting article about

The Object in 20th Century Art

Here are a couple inspiring videos that you may consider using for your own artwork:

Making art with everyday objects



EVERYDAY objects turned into fun illustrations:

What kind of object will you choose? Do not forget to share yours! 😍

Week #6: August 16 – August 23
Nature

🤩


Our next challenge: nature.

We are already half way through our marathon! And some of us didn’t even have a chance to draw/sketch yet.
This week might be the easiest… Do not forget that we are also about the future. If you wish, you may touch the environmental issues here. What the nature of 2021 is going to be like?
We really do hope for a better future to come next year.
We would like to highlight the fact that to create art you may need to use…NATURE! So, the artists literally use nature to create nature, here we mean the mediums every artist is likely to use: charcoal, graphite pencil, water, pigments…
Consider nature drawing – go outside and draw, sketch, paint whatever you find in nature!Here is a couple of videos to study:

Art Challenge 10

Week #5: August 9 – August 16

Creature

🤩


Our next challenge: creature.

This week we invite you to wrap your mind around the concept of CREATURE.
You may draw just your favorite real-life animal, or you may expand it to imaginary beings.
We also encourage you to mix in some ethnical and national traits. Depending on the country you are coming from, you might consider researching some regional myths and legends to get inspired.
Nowadays growing popularity of games and fantasy draws a keen interest to this topic.
Think about the environment your CREATURE inhabits. Is it a woods or sea creature?
Get your pens, pencils, inks and colors ready (you can buy them at Blick, where you can find anything you need)!
And start experimenting 🙂
Do not forget that being a part of Art Challenge means not only sharing but also learning!
Here is an article to read in case you are planning to create a monster:

Creature Concept Art Gallery

Do not forget a simple fact that creating creature design starts with drawing real animals! That’s why we encourage you to sketch and draw our favourite animals and pets: cats, dogs, fish, hamsters.
Here is real animal sketching process with the animator of Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Brother Bear! Get inspired! (you do not have to watch the whole video, just skip to the interesting parts – there is a list of topics under the video)

And here is a video from Disney and famous Disney animator on creating characters!

What is going to be your CREATURE? 😍 We are very excited!

Art Challenge 10: Imagine 2021 https://lifestylearchitects.club/art-challenge-10-imagine-2021/ Sat, 18 Jul 2020 20:02:08 +0000 https://lifestylearchitects.club/?p=618

Are you tired of 2020? Seems like it is not the best year.

Let’s imagine what 2021 would be like.


In partnership with Art Challenge – a small artistic community – we decided to promote this kind of meditation – meditation through Art.

Now it is a right moment to remind ourselves of Imagine, the song written by John Lennon almost exactly 50 years ago! “50 years ago” will happen next year. This year we can only dream about the future and do everything we can for this better future to come!

Our first task for fellow artists is CAKE! This challenge has been on since 2017 and this year we celebrate our 3rd birthday!



For this task you can use any materals and mediums.

If you are a complete beginner, we do not recommend investing much money into this Art adventure. You can simply shop in Walmart for the necessary pencil and eraser (although you can find a lot of things in Walmart!).

If you feel like a professional, you can find practically everything in The Works shop in UK. In USA you can go to Artenza, they have a fun spin wheel discount if you register 🙂

Do you want to be a bit less conventional about your art? As we said you can use any technique, we had some participants who suddenly decided to sew a blanket! By the way for great sewing machines and everything related to sewing go to SewingMachinesPlus.

Here is an idea: create your own piece of clothing featuring your design. Or create a little bit more professional birthday card by using machines by Cricut!

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
