GA: Secret Santa Letters Dec 7 – 21
December 7, 2010, 2:31 pm
Filed under: Group Activity

The Group Activity, as suggested by Jason, will be the secret santa letter activity.  To participate in this group activity, you will need to write a letter to Santa and deliver it to me one week from now.  I shall then put them into a drawing pot, and you will get your secret santa.  After that, the santa will have one week to write a reply and deliver the letter in the same envelope to me.  I will then anonymously hand them back to their respective recipients (I will not know who’s is who’s until they are opened).  Once the letters have been delivered, we shall gather for a few minutes to deliberate who is who.  After all has been revealed, the letters shall be posted to the artosaurs blog.  Happy letter writing!

 



GA: GO GO POWER RANGERS OCT 2. – OCT. 15
November 2, 2010, 6:56 pm
Filed under: Group Activity

Hello all, I am going to go ahead and introduce a new category until we get the Creative Contest up and running again.  This new category will be known as “Group Activity”.  All that this will entail is that we will be given an assignment to create something separately, but in the end will be united and create it’s own piece.  You will get 2 weeks to draw your assignment and turn it in.  Rotation will flow in the same manner that the Weekly Theme does, but the GA will be once a month.

This month’s GA shall be power rangers!  Specifically their robot animals that transform into Mega Zord!  Your assignment is to:

  1. Pick a color from the list below.
  2. Create a power ranger, in costume, for the color you chose.
  3. Draw the appendage  for the robot that is connected to your color choice .(The appendages will be photoshopped together.)

I know that sounds like a lot, but you can be as silly as you would like to be.  The propose of this is to have something funny at the end that we have all created together.  Here is to hoping that the GA will be fun and enjoyable for all.

Comment to this post with your choice:

Pink – Legs
Black – Chest
Green – Arms
Red – Head

CC: PHOTOGRAPHY 102 – August 5-13
August 5, 2010, 6:41 pm
Filed under: Creative Contests

Since Henry’s CC was such a success (at least I thought it was) and the photography was great, I thought we would extend that idea.  The challenge is to shoot a portrait, no old submissions please. By this I mean, the photo must be a person or pet.

No houses, cars, robots, etc.
No photoshop or illustrations.
No photoshop composite images.

The only editing to your submission should be cropping and color correction. The photo will be judged on creativity, framing and use of the subject. Photo quality (but not blurry or fuzzy) is not critical, so the use of a camera phone will not count against you. Due 11AM, Friday, August 13. Have fun, take some great pics!

Henry Reyes: A Generation Apart

Jason Shasteen: portrait with action fists!

Sheena Boling: Henry
