Art Challenge Meeting


My Art Challenge Club met last Sunday and our challenge for this meeting was "Tree".  Our good friend Ted Wolter, decided his piece would be a community effort.  Ted is a college art instructor so these things come natural to him.  He drew out the form of a tree and then asked each of the club members to draw lines following his drawing using different colored pencils.  We had three opportunities to add lines.  Above is my friend Kim adding a line.


Here is a closer view before the tree got too thick.


This is Jim adding his line as we almost finished our third round.


And here is the finished tree.  We all thought it look more like a center cut of a brain when we got done but, we liked it and enjoyed the process.  You can see that we started out with nice straight lines and then got a little more creative as we went along.


I decided to get even more creative and apply some digital editing to the above photo.  I did several of them but, these two were my favorites.


What a fun evening, creating art together!

Excellent! Very cool art party! I like your first final version the most. Your are truly an artiste!

Steve Reed said...

That's cool! It does look rather brain-like. I think that's because the trunk is a little too thick to be a trunk -- more like a neck!

Very creative! It sounds like you had fun.

Your last one looks a bit like Australian Aboriginal art. Fun exercise, Sharon!

That sure sounds like fun. I like what you added too, it's nice to see the process and how it turned out at the end. Very nice indeed, Sharon.

The next to the last is my favorite.

What a super artistic combined effort Sharon, great idea! Your last shot is a little like an Aboriginal dot painting ✨
