Project 52

Like most young kids, I loved to draw, color, paint, etc. That quickly came to a standstill as I started comparing my art to that of my peers. This effectively ended my exploration of art but it never extinguished my interest.

Recently, a buddy of mine, Andy over at andy.mcclung.me, told me about a project he was interested in starting. The project was a variation of one he found at this site. The idea is to design something every day. Andy decided to ease up the daily requirement to a weekly one. The reason was to allow for more exploration because he was just beginning his artistic practice himself.

What a great idea, I thought. I quickly decided to join him in this project. Since then, another friend of ours, has also jumped on-board.

I have no clue when it comes to art. Aside from an art history class, I know nothing of any techniques, styles, colors, etc. That will change over time. I've decided my project will be an exploration of the various media.

I plan to pick a theme for the week and then explore that theme using pretty much anything. I will post my activity. I've decided to interpret the weekly thing as a minimum requirement. This means some weeks may have more than one post.

There will be no evaluation of failure or success, only exploration. I welcome any feedback.
