Fearless Art Challenge: a 14-Day Drawing Challenge to Unlock Your Creative Self
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Do you feel a little stuck in your art practice? Do you want to challenge yourself? Try new things? Become more fearless when you draw? Jumpstart your art? Hone in on your style? Unlock your creativity? Jump headfirst into the unknown?
This class is a 14-day drawing challenge which does just that. I'll be giving you 14 different creative prompts, one for each day, and trying to give you little tips and bits of inspiration along the way to keep you motivated. I've tried making the prompts as varied as possible so that you can try out new things, push out of your comfort zone and become more and more fearless in your art-making.
In this class, as we move forward with the prompts, I also want to provide you with a shift in mindset that is incredibly useful to unlock your creativity & hone in on your artistic style. I'll go through the process of showing you my interpretation of the prompts, and show you how making mistakes gives you the freedom to become more creative. Each one of the prompts is an opportunity to exploring this mindset even more, in order for you to come away from the class feeling more empowered and confident in your art.
See you in class! And if you want to come hang out with me on Instagram or Patreon, come on over I'll make you tea. :)
