ART CHALLENGE WORKSHOP

Unlock your creativity in this dynamic 2-hour art challenge! Participants will pick three prompts from separate jars: the first is a subject, the second one is an action or object, and the third is a style or restriction.

You decide how difficult your challenge will be - use one just one prompt, two, or push yourself with all three!

The workshop is all about fostering creativity, thumbnailing, character design, story-telling and problem-solving. It’s perfect for anyone wanting a challenge, and especially useful for students in game art, 3D animation and graphic design.

Choose any medium you prefer, from watercolor and pencils to tablets or markers. Can’t make it to class? I’ll post the prompts afterward, so you can still join the fun online and share your creations in our Facebook group.
