The Great Quarantine Art Adventure

Greetings artists!
So we had some issues with this link, but the great people at West Irondequoit, especially Dan Fullerton, fixed the problem and we are up and running. Well the good thing about all this is I now am able to properly spell Quarantine without the help spellcheck!

Alright, moving forward for today, there is a daily drawing prompt going on that was created by art teachers in Webster. Think "Inktober". That's when we have 31 drawing activities or ideas in 31 days. Artists from all over the globe participate and it's really wild to see how each artists tackles each word. The list began yesterday and the first 2 are as follows:

Day 1: Growth
Day 2: Melt

You can draw, sculpt, animate any of these ideas. The main page is on Instagram @greatquarantineartadventure. If you have access to instagram you can follow and tag your art with #TGQAA You don't need to post though, get a collection of papers or whatever you create with and start a portfolio. The great thing about art is it is a document of your time spent. I love seeing friends I haven't seen in a while and when they say "what have you been up to?" I break out my sketchbooks and paintings. I will post the new prompt here every day so if you don'y have access to instagram you can get it here. You may contact me through schoology if you have questions or comments.
Stay safe and happy arting!
-Mr. Perry
