2-Week Art Challenge: New Mediums

A couple years ago I tried my hand at a 30-day drawing-a-day challenge. I came up with my own 30 prompts and invited others to join in. I'm ready to try my hand at another art challenge - but this time I want to push myself to try some new mediums/styles!

If you'd like to see the results of my 30-day challenge from 2022 (some of them got pretty hilarious!) you can find those posts here, here, and here. 

The idea behind this year's challenge is to pick one subject and create art of that subject, but in a different medium or style each day. Just like with the drawing one, my goal is to challenge myself; so not all the prompts I chose are ones that I am familiar or experienced with. Who knows, I might find a new art form that really speaks to me. And at the end of it, I'll have a series of 14 artworks completed!

Here's the prompt list:

1. Pencil/graphite
2. Pen & ink (bonus points if you're using a dip-pen!)
3. Watercolor paint
4. Acrylic paint
5. Collage
6. Photography
7. Abstract (medium is up to you)
8. Charcoal/pastel
9. Clay/Sculpey/etc.
10. Video
11. Impressionist (again, medium is your choice)
12. Poetry
13. Prose (250-500 words)
14. Nail art/miniature

Mark your calendars because I plan on beginning this challenge December 1st, 2024, but I wanted to put the invitation out there to anyone who wants to join me - after all, the more the merrier! Plus, some of these are going to require a bit of prep work; especially if you are like me and don't already have all the materials on hand (or maybe you do and they are just buried in your studio... also like me!) *coughDay9cough*

So because it's me doing this, I'm picking a toaster as my subject. I already have a few ideas floating around for some of the days (pencil drawing? Easy peasy!) but I think I might need to do some real planning for others. That's right, Day 10, I'm looking at you!

If you want to join me this December 1-14, I'll be sharing my own creations daily on both Facebook and Instagram. You can use #RSASartchallenge2024 if you choose to share; I'd really love to see what you all come up with! And of course, please feel free to stick to the prompts or take just the parts you want and leave the rest. I'm not looking to set any strict rules, I just want to inspire and encourage my fellow artists! 😘
