March and aprils art challenge

The last couple of art challenges have been really difficult for me to overcome, and even after having taken them on I have been struggeling to get them finished. If you dont know what I am talking about look at The Jealous Curators blog.
But here they come, in all their splendor ;-)

March was all about painting sheets of paper and, chopping that into abstract or representational shapes, and then move them around until arriving at a composition. It was given to us by Kate Pugsley.

This challenge was somehow incredibly difficult for me, and I never really felt that I arrived at something that spoke to me, as an artist.

Aprils challenge from Cassandra Smith was making a sculpture from a found object! Immediately I knew what I was going to do. For some time I had been collecting lost gloves and mittens.

But then the creative block sat in! What to actually do with them???

Time passed and I had only vague ideas......

So far so good, but I think this has actually opened op for something, that I will continue doing!

.....Mays challenge I havent done yet......

februarys art challenge from The Jealous Curator

Februarys creativeUNblock was Kate Bingaman-Burt’s challenge from “Creative Block” (ie. document everything in your bathroom cupboard in any medium you like). 

So the first thing I did was to draw all the shelfes as so called #shefies

Bottom left shelf: Everyones toothbrushes

Middel left shelf: Hand cream and bandaid

My 4 year olds take on the same shelf

Top left: The maskuline shelf

Bottom right shelf: The teenage son

Middle right shelf: My stuff!

Top right: Mess

.

Then I did draw everything that I use in the cupboard:

1. udfordring gennemført!

Udfordringen lød ganske forenklet: tag et sort/hvid billede, lav 50 kopier og lav 50 versioner. Den originale og lidt mere nuancerede tekst findes her: http://www.thejealouscurator.com/blog/2015/01/03/creativeunblock-no-1/

Her kan I se en lille video på 12,5 sec af alle 50 billeder og alle billederne side om side.

I kan følge alle, der har taget udfordringen op ved at søge på #creativeunblock på Instagram.
