Theme & Challenges

Each month we will pick a subject "theme" and then break it down into separate subject "challenges." The idea behind this is to push each subject a littler further by looking at it in more than one way; to compare and contrast, to see how things can differ and how they can overlap.

For example, if Fire was the "theme" it could then be broken down to Life & Destruction "challenges."

Please feel free to suggest themes and/or challenges via email, comments here, or in the meetings. This will be a very participant driven group.

A few guidelines:
- In order to maintain a common starting point and equal parameters, artwork presented for the challenges should be produced specifically for the challenge within the 2 week time frame. If you have already approached the subject, and have a piece finished, feel free to bring it to share but also participate in the current challenge and bring your new piece. Remember - this is a "challenge" group - challenge yourself to look at it from a different angle, different perspective, or try a new medium. Shake it up a bit!!

- Feel free to work together and collaborate on challenges. Meeting times however will be used for presenting finished pieces and for discussion. In the future, we may schedule a "challenge" as a collaborative workshop where we get together and create something as a group within a specified time frame if there is interest in that kind of activity.
