Welcome to our newest weekend art challenge! This week we would love for you to get creative using the theme butterflies. We have added some photos below if you would like to use those. They are full of colour and fluidity and we would encourage students to try to encapsulate this within their artwork. Also try to think about the softness of the backgrounds in comparison to the sharp detail of the butterflies and their delicate wings.
Think carefully about the medium that you choose. Something soft like watercolour might be the perfect choice, or perhaps something blendable like pastel. Whichever you choose and however you decide to complete this weekend art challenge we are very much looking forward to seeing the results soon!
We hope you enjoy this challenge and most of all experiment and have fun!
The idea of these challenges is to help students improve their skills by drawing, painting and creating regularly.
So try to submit work that you have created specifically for the challenge – or course work you are currently creating for your art course. Sometimes our challenge themes cross over with what students are learning. Our challenges are great practive for your coursework too!
Remember to submit your artwork to us via email if you would like it posted on our blog next week.

Hi there, I#m new to the College. Could you please tell me by when does the butterfly artwork need to be in?
Thanks a lot and kind regards,
Nina
We usually like to have the artwork by Thursdays so we can add it to the blog post. New challenges are out on a Friday! Melanie x
