Welcome to our Alphabet Challenge. Every month this year we will have a new letter of the alphabet and students can draw or paint anything as long as it is beginning with that letter.
Its the last challenge of January and it’s the turn of ‘S’. Think of any object or subject that begins with that letter, or a collection of them and make a painting or drawing. You can do one single item or subject or multiples.
What about a Sandcastle and a Seal on Sand in the Sunshine with a Ship in the Sea in the distance!? A Squirrel eating a sandwich in a park? Or a sheep in sunflowers wearing a scarf! These are some comical ideas for you, but let your own imagination run wild, whether it be a serious drawing of painting or a funny illustration, we cant wait to see it! We have added some photos below for you, feel free to use them.
Let us know why you have chosen your particular object or subject and we look forward to seeing what you all come up with!
The idea of these challenges is to help students improve their skills by drawing, painting and creating regularly.
So try to submit work that you have created specifically for the challenge – or course work you are currently creating for your art course. Sometimes our challenge themes cross over with what students are learning. Our challenges are great practive for your coursework too!
Remember to submit your artwork to us via email if you would like it posted on our blog next week.
Email your artwork to us for inclusion on the blog next week. We sometimes take challenge posts submitted to our Facebook group to add to the collection, however we may miss some, so if you really want to see your work here, make sure you email it to us!
