Art Talk Tuesday
As an artist I'm always looking for inspiration and places to showcase my work. Art challenges fit the bill for both. They often have themes and a forum for displaying artwork to a large audience.
The Index Card a Day art challenge starts June 1st and runs thru July 30th. Each day you make a piece of art on a 3'x5' index card. This challenge has the artist working every day and it's a chance to try out ideas, products or new tequnequs.
If you are not sure where to start, or just plain have no ideas, Tammy at Daisy Yellow will have prompts and inspiration posted daily. After you complete your master piece it's time to share. Daisy Yellow has three options, place your work on it's home site, Face Book page or Flickr group. You can do all three! ( you can jump into the challenge anytime after June 1st. This is for FUN, no pressure!)

Thanks for the links....I keep saying I will and then I never do....Looks like you are super ready for icad....I bet there will be some index cards mailed.....xox
ReplyDeleteThe index card idea is interesting. I may try it myself, not to show but to see what comes out of it. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou are a fountain of information ... I really like the sound of the index card challenge, but I am participation challenged ... I think. Maybe you can coach me on this ..... you are the reigning queen in this area!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to make time for ICAD for June!
