Me Art Monday, by Deleted on Dec 13, 2013 15:57:01 GMT 1,
We're all here because we love art yet how many of us members actually do some ourselves? I thought I'd try and get a thread like this going as I find the possible results so exciting. I must say that I think I would be the last person to want to show off anything I create as I have told people on more than one occasion that " I can't draw ", but what trumps that is the feeling and knowledge that the very act of creating some art, be it amazing or pants, is good for the soul. So why the hell don't I do it? I was hoping that a lot of members are in the same art boat as me and would also be willing to give it a go.
How about members turn off their puters and tellies at some stage during the week, stick some music on or something, have a beer or a glass of wine or a doobie or a cup of tea and just create something? Draw, paint, write, cut a stencil, make a collage, anything!
Get your kids involved, get your partner involved, get your parents involved or escape them all for an hour and have a bit of 'me time'. Then at 9:00pm on Monday nights wherever we are we could post a pic of what we've done and just watch as all the other members do the same. Would be a really great thing to see. It's about being self conscious but without being self conscious. Are we brave enough? You can't be criticized for actually doing some art. It's you. So would anyone be up for it?

Me Art Monday, by Deleted on Dec 20, 2013 14:20:48 GMT 1, I really want to keep this thread going as I think it has such great potential and I for one will be posting something done by me again on Monday night at 9:00.
I think the initial one hour, 8:00-9:00 time thing put a lot of people off and made it impossible for others so it should really just be any damn time during the week that we/you just create something. Then post a pic of it in this thread at 9:00pm Monday. I was so nervous about actually doing it last Monday and believe it or not, that above effort did indeed take me an hour but I really did enjoy it and I'm looking forward to doing it again. Come on members. Be brave, be creative and I'll see you on Monday night.

Me Art Monday, by Someones Brain on Dec 22, 2013 23:01:10 GMT 1, Inspired by this thread I started with a little canvas (50x50) last monday evening. Some layers of color needed time to dry so I didn't finish it. I'll not be able to continue tomorrow but I will post a pic when it's finally done. This thread is a great idea!

Me Art Monday, by matp on Dec 23, 2013 22:19:42 GMT 1, Ever since Banksy's BOTI, my daughter (8) has been into stencilling! She wants a stencil of her name on a canvas for her room. I drew and cut out this and this is our first attempt! I realise that its very basic, but it took me a very long time to cut it out!! I now have to do the real one in "pinks and purples"!!

Pretty good for a first attempt. More importantly, what did she think ?

But, she likes it, we just have to make a MTN order now with her colour choices!! |
