Hello Good People,
This time my monthly letter is slightly different, there are no news about my latest artistic adventures but it brings you a challenge.
And before all THANK YOU for voting your colour(s) of choice, you are the best! ❤️
Mark on your calendar COLOUR WEEK1 will happen next week, from the 22nd to 27th of April and everyone is invited!
I compiled a very long list of colours from your suggestions here, on Instagram and DMs with the most referred colours. And initially I had the intention to make Colour Week for 5 days only but it was not easy to naired it down to only 5 colours (who would have thought that even Purple would have some votes!) so I ended picking 6 colour families and not specific shades, this way it can be more abrangent and please all tastes.
How you can join?
Create a sketch/drawing with the colour of the day.
You can use other colours, just try to use colour of the day in a bigger proportion!
Use the materials of your choice.
All kinds of art are welcome (drawings, illustrations, textile art, photograph, even swatching colours, etc.).
You have no ideas of what to create/draw, no worries. Don’t let that stop you from joining😊 here there are the prompts of the week*:
Monday - Turtle
Tuesday - Still life with Tulip(s)
Wednesday - Scenery with Colourful buildings
Thursday - Person holding flowers
Friday - Waffle
Saturday - Boat
*these are the prompts scheduled for the fourth week of April in the 262 ArT Days Project.
Art challenges can be overwhelming especially daily ones, so feel free to pick just your favourite colours or even just one if you can’t join the whole week! Hope you can join me, will be a lonely (sad) week if its only me but will do it anyway 😅
I will open a thread on Substack chat where we can share our entries (optional), and if you are on Instagram and would like to share your results there, please tag me @oficinacaracolinho I would love to see it!
Let’s make a colourful week together.
Till the next time,
Teresa
Where did this idea came from?
It comes back from my childhood memories. When I was in the elementary school there was a colour week 🎨during that week each day had a defined colour and all the kids were invited to wear at least one piece of clothing of the color’s day, we learned things about colour and did crafts. Probably my favourite week of the school year!
You won’t be alone because I’ll join you! 😄🎨
I love this idea! I will join in as often as I can!
