Shoe art challenge

Raise your paintbrushes and glue sticks if you love shoes!! We are using this opportunity to introduce "Small Art Friday". Theory being that we should be using our creativity all the time and be making some Small Art at least every week. So if you haven't done any yet this week, you can do some on Friday!! I just read an article that said, when we slow down and meditate, it uses the same part of the brain that lights up when something makes us happy. So when we muse on our art we are doing that times 2!!!!!!! It also lasts longer than when something happens to you to make you happy, kind of like deciding to be happy. And it raises your immune system!

So take our challenge, be happy and healthy and make some art!

This week we found thoughtful quotes (and wrote some of our own) on interesting strips of paper, on Wednesday we are planting them where people will find them and take them home. (Library books, grocery store, etc.) This project was inspired by the gorilla art book.

For the shoe project you can use any medium. It needs to be inspired by shoes and done by Friday May 23rd. Then please email photos to me and I will post them on this blog. I am also open to setting up a swap between artists who would like to trade their shoe art in May after the deadline. I will be posting the shoes as they come in to me so keep an eye peeled.
