If you head outside, you can see patterns everywhere, whether you live in the countryside or in an urban jungle. Look closely, take your sketchbook or camera and try to note the patterns in every day life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be the veins on a leaf, grain in a wooden fence, tree bark, sand in a sandpit or petals on a flower. Perhaps if it has been raining, the patterns will be intensified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like you to try to recreate the pattern in nature that capture your attention the most. It wont be easy, creating texture in artwork is tricky, but this is what challenges are all about! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unable to go outside, we have added some photos below to get you started! Let us know what your inspiration was for drawing or painting what you did and we would love to add it to our blog next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All students can take part and they can post their artwork on our main Facebook Group<\/a> to share with fellow students.

If you would like your work included in our weekly Thursday blog post Email<\/a> it to Melanie on
techsupport@londonartcollege.co.uk<\/a><\/strong>

Please only post new artwork that you have created specifically for the challenge.

The idea of these challenges is to help students improve their skills by drawing, painting and creating regularly. Most of all, have fun!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All of the photos we post on our London Art College Weekend Challenges are copyright free. Feel free to use the artwork you produce however you wish. If you would like your artwork posted here on our blog, email it to Melanie at techsupport@londonartcollege.co.uk<\/a>. If you have any Weekend Challenge requests let us know too! Best of luck and happy drawing and painting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
