A couple managed to make an effort so here they are. Miss P really did a super job with hers, IMHO. Mine was the beginning of a larger design, but time hasn't been in my favor lately.<br />The challenge...Self Portrait! It was tough to see oneself from the outside, or to scutinize one's self image. But I think that was what made this challenge so good.<br />Maybe we can continue it and tie it into the next challenge, which, as of this point in time, has not been decided. I wonder if Miss P would like to assign the next challenge.<br /><br />Here are the images...<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248866423261305250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEpQ4XeO427Q2zBjPZEkfFxpBrbg3NcBffo-sNhOCEjjWksxVuNxaXpyrO4ATVb099uhfGzNUwIIkXnKpM5r24ig6frBUkRhHhF5u-W-PzDn8E92y0xDXazu4vLKBkUzzf4sUDWRYPFb82/s320/phoenix.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p><br /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248866432222037634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfQHt61QnwQrOADNPTj2__U1krq3gyxNawGNF82NYnsfynwqDbnObSGTqzB0X7uXclF3a6eucCJXMlEo5Ty3gdq6bvnuGpBmlQdwlmLs52p0DnIn-ZaZnbJVQuUxNvhwAjXixVXOQ0c33E/s320/vacation+0808+058.jpg" border="0" />BTW-My BFF out west wondered if she might be able to join in the challenges with us.

Are you familiar with it? It is gorgeous!<br />Anyway, the image I made is based on a photograph of survivors of the<br />Chinese earthquake camping outside in the rubble. The image really<br />spoke to the line in Barber's piece (the words are taken from a James<br />Agee essay) that reads, "who shall ever tell the sorrow of being on this<br />earth, lying, on quilts, on the grass, in a summer evening, among the<br />sounds of the night."

For me, sharing my poem was a huge thing. My whole being feels completely vulnerable when it is out there. But for some reason, I knew deep down that if another person's work was my inspiration, then I wouldn't have made the same kind of effort, the same kind of reach to something as challenging to me as composing. </div><br /><div>Ms. M started this challenge with gusto, but somewhere along the way, she lost steam. I hope that someday she'll finish this one...it seems like such an important step in her life, as I know it was in mine. </div><br /><div>It is my belief that Ms. D became a bit overwhelmed by the challenge, not knowing which words to choose for her piece, and thus surrendered to doing nothing. We all have those moments when you just freeze. Can't go backward, forward or up and down, so you just stay and BE. </div><div></div><br /><div>Our next challenge: Self portrait!

And now has turned into the June Challenge. So the theme here is you take your favorite poem, line from a song or even just a word/phrase and translate it into a piece of art. We artists are finding this a challenge for time and thought... I think. We have until 6/30 to make some statement. I'm hoping all will try! :) I have a little energy left tonight and tackled the subject. And I think I'm done. I'll bring it in...<br /><br />Miss c.Art4Ushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17296492789503295120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743727793633305625.post-27527822498615282542008-04-30T09:56:00.000-07:002008-12-09T05:38:59.607-08:00More DOODLE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6CwiCVDfp4VQ6TEwP-r60cfMjXHx9XdOUogEdxnCDgyt68OyiqprK-EROFQi-Ze6CGvPk2vue7H_VWUaj0iUFxI6R-I9O8udFTRxBlouBUHAo443jz9oWcLYr9mONa7qqMaazucJtIn-/s1600-h/Picture+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083944135037826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6CwiCVDfp4VQ6TEwP-r60cfMjXHx9XdOUogEdxnCDgyt68OyiqprK-EROFQi-Ze6CGvPk2vue7H_VWUaj0iUFxI6R-I9O8udFTRxBlouBUHAo443jz9oWcLYr9mONa7qqMaazucJtIn-/s320/Picture+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tBeRKDXlqgGwbybmIBoISddv6qxrqzzbEyWGlbFtObj07QZPu9cFSyndIJdu5YZfeedWtfa-xUbB3fsXNuwnx6BwUqTsK6rbzpgpXaI6QWyMcrZK-a29RczUFRl5aZHXBMsH_X_7zbv2/s1600-h/Picture+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083952724972434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tBeRKDXlqgGwbybmIBoISddv6qxrqzzbEyWGlbFtObj07QZPu9cFSyndIJdu5YZfeedWtfa-xUbB3fsXNuwnx6BwUqTsK6rbzpgpXaI6QWyMcrZK-a29RczUFRl5aZHXBMsH_X_7zbv2/s320/Picture+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We've got more doodle for your noodle... check out what Miss M and Mr B (two Italians) added to our collection!

Miss S. is still working on her beautiful woman image -- but probably not while she's in FLA.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>Can't wait to see what we do for April -- Doodle Art!!!</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>Miss C.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Art4Ushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17296492789503295120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743727793633305625.post-60834300330790545562008-02-27T09:59:00.000-08:002008-12-09T05:39:03.236-08:00Miss Isabella's work<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjowigWas1_6U9VEGsoaCwUaapMGZ29Qh18-bOKYjJdinA3Q_JUy5FWlDWjh5TazxcRnVRU1njWEdl4OFPldM_eEbtkBZdohxh5Fm1iXHcDGcevmXdNMRPdwdNJ4WpOFqKLcSulMu8Rx7/s1600-h/Michchalttrm.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171721951493690802" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjowigWas1_6U9VEGsoaCwUaapMGZ29Qh18-bOKYjJdinA3Q_JUy5FWlDWjh5TazxcRnVRU1njWEdl4OFPldM_eEbtkBZdohxh5Fm1iXHcDGcevmXdNMRPdwdNJ4WpOFqKLcSulMu8Rx7/s400/Michchalttrm.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ZUKYmeySEc99SSbQvDyl68FjbzV0dwjWPCj_pjTTGAFIA98vXU1dzvIkPn9VbebpAj7DCYpyr_K5IEeE1JVs66zLLSJebkOVy_H_o-3QjJCuWFcmThXI9fJXa04SGC91zdt7WBT7MuPN/s1600-h/Michfrwatermeln.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171721955788658114" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ZUKYmeySEc99SSbQvDyl68FjbzV0dwjWPCj_pjTTGAFIA98vXU1dzvIkPn9VbebpAj7DCYpyr_K5IEeE1JVs66zLLSJebkOVy_H_o-3QjJCuWFcmThXI9fJXa04SGC91zdt7WBT7MuPN/s400/Michfrwatermeln.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Here's a couple of pieces from Isabella's past.

This one was like making soup. It had a little of this and a little of that. Miss D was really interested in doing a sky theme because the sun rises and sunsets had been so gorgeous during that time. So I took that thought and combined it with an About.com painting challenge that required the use of only 4 colors to create the image: white, lemon, blue and burnt sienna. The task: to create an interpretation of the sky.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Here's what the gals came up with.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfNsFwu8GThqDJXtD2484mBPelusp_srCPnKd6Ne0S_CM7agbTfvzhPHSqX3b-gWFybbzTJ42bieGla3SI5fGXLPSPrB8OQJyvYgDXTOdtnHWqemNjoWSVo8S_mkwCNcJM6WSQDtKld9u/s1600-h/P2180062.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171377258410373890" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfNsFwu8GThqDJXtD2484mBPelusp_srCPnKd6Ne0S_CM7agbTfvzhPHSqX3b-gWFybbzTJ42bieGla3SI5fGXLPSPrB8OQJyvYgDXTOdtnHWqemNjoWSVo8S_mkwCNcJM6WSQDtKld9u/s320/P2180062.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDqk0dZj2-MUpYydCI3MnoQD-Hr9NGinKFEkTpi98XZRTs7N8Q8IneOZ5FbQgOlSrPObublVcUschkNBp9im2055f8ZZeir0rJKrPR0xJHeN7nKFaA3Ex_fbPqU7EdfYbcKt-C2gef4_9R/s1600-h/P2180075.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171377249820439282" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDqk0dZj2-MUpYydCI3MnoQD-Hr9NGinKFEkTpi98XZRTs7N8Q8IneOZ5FbQgOlSrPObublVcUschkNBp9im2055f8ZZeir0rJKrPR0xJHeN7nKFaA3Ex_fbPqU7EdfYbcKt-C2gef4_9R/s320/P2180075.JPG" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229719178944079410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY11wtRmy5oZ2L106uPJGHxoW-UMDGfNTAaeCuXYraaWckiuQOhhMRh0XEJA8GykKFHAchgDDhQJWZ-7cM31OIhK2fb05AKDPA1t0q1ysB8WO_HGONwF1X49idxJ58iuJWdmChNElLuFgH/s320/art+challenges+008.jpg" border="0" /></div>Art4Ushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17296492789503295120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743727793633305625.post-40967501844460977962008-02-26T07:35:00.000-08:002008-12-09T05:39:04.328-08:00Art4Usgals<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p4TdQHYXkRFB4hMHLPSyRjEtuaHGFdVIT4eDW3S3xhLSZrkrDnTNXd9C4vsOfe7wFYOp6o2zz7Zwdg7x4X0L4qqYYHM2xzObhIcqlaQT2854sgumjAag7ZzqDAwdRR0ayyOFlsalQjdd/s1600-h/Steph+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171318103825806050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p4TdQHYXkRFB4hMHLPSyRjEtuaHGFdVIT4eDW3S3xhLSZrkrDnTNXd9C4vsOfe7wFYOp6o2zz7Zwdg7x4X0L4qqYYHM2xzObhIcqlaQT2854sgumjAag7ZzqDAwdRR0ayyOFlsalQjdd/s400/Steph+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XzSxJf4qi2lJLoWfL2NY8tE9lXTohVSE6A7d2HQaxh6ZSMcDBTZ2RnqwGIY0ARWs2VwlHiJs4IS6aGanBBvSOOREHTva1-8VomlYBnlnC1Di2kiw4x0HuGAXHVEduEJlYUoJr03mF4Nh/s1600-h/Carla+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171317584134763218" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XzSxJf4qi2lJLoWfL2NY8tE9lXTohVSE6A7d2HQaxh6ZSMcDBTZ2RnqwGIY0ARWs2VwlHiJs4IS6aGanBBvSOOREHTva1-8VomlYBnlnC1Di2kiw4x0HuGAXHVEduEJlYUoJr03mF4Nh/s320/Carla+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1VOVyFQCOOGRmiwZjrL2s1AaxCA7HwFDvcvb8WKt1X-LWGj7p-d9C843fr1H1_iX5BkgZXsddJt5bMjUck3xh7MOMSx6pEl5LkC4fhYh_gE3pcogrfcrU7xWXnN9_Eh-wLUaaNzgv8yR2/s1600-h/Carla+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG"></a></p><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYk7s4pZg_s7C9kYIzK9feaePB8QvHA_9j2fexix6F6hL1RmNesM_O5ACzCbDHuXFnMvzR74gwzVTppxUiofm_6dynWhhOlzapWaPJkqWwDkSC2TZFjQ8izTtfUirqAPBYpacLuI2VuM_x/s1600-h/Dawn+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171316905529930418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYk7s4pZg_s7C9kYIzK9feaePB8QvHA_9j2fexix6F6hL1RmNesM_O5ACzCbDHuXFnMvzR74gwzVTppxUiofm_6dynWhhOlzapWaPJkqWwDkSC2TZFjQ8izTtfUirqAPBYpacLuI2VuM_x/s400/Dawn+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuYxM-O28E9nfSd3AYnK4jQDTIvgUoXJqeolukU5JO-ubHWZ6nSdzmrcz4e3MztMYR9bbpTmRzA_bMF8KL4G5XtgYtNFI61v0GO0BnBPD2sFzPSngrcwgJm7x1QSYaYzG9kirxAVq5zBaE/s1600-h/Steph+Art+Challenge+12+2007.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>This is just the beginning of our Art group.
