Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we would like you to find your favourite soft toy and draw or paint it. This could be a soft toy that is close to your heart, perhaps something you owned since you were a child. It could even be a favourite toy your dog has. Perhaps your kids or your grandkids will let you draw theirs! Or what about a soft cuddly toy that just makes you smile and inspires you to draw it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever it may be, let us know why you love it so! Most of all have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
