ART CHALLENGE, Moderated by Tony Askew

THEME: “NEW”. We are emerging from three years of turmoil and change. With the beginning of a new year, it’s the perfect time to look at the art we are doing and face this assignment as a challenge to create something “NEW”… something outside our comfort zone. Sean Kernan, the artist who presented our Art Talk in August 2021, says the trick to creating art that is alive is to overthrow habits and work in a state of heightened awareness. Approach this “NEW” like a young child experiencing something for the first time, and create work that surprises you.

CREATE: Turn off your brain, play, experiment with a new medium, or a twist on the style you have mastered. Depict this theme with any style, any interpretation of art: representational, contemporary, abstract, and any medium: painting, printmaking, collage, assemblage, photography, and sculpture. It is not necessary to bring the art framed, but if on paper, please clip or tape to a mat or board.

FORMAT: Your art piece will be shown on an easel, and Tony and Joyce will lead the discussion and take comments from members. Each member participating will have approximately 3 to 4 minutes for presentation and discussion time.

NOTE: For health reasons, if you are not vaccinated, you MUST WEAR A MASK

and practice social distancing.

TO REGISTER: Email Joyce Wilson – jw@joycewilson.com to reserve your space.

It is not necessary to email photographs of your work. Merely register your name so we have an outline and numbers for set-up. If you wish to join the party as an observer, or bring a guest, send email with names and request to be included.
