Thursdays Puzzle



Join me for today's fun puzzle!

Found Object Color Wheel


Happy Thursday! Today I thought it would be fun if we made art without using any real art supplies. Make a color wheel with objects you have at home. Take a picture of it and post it to social media with the #thecrayonlab  and #foundobjectcolorwheel. You can also email it to me directly at thecrayonlab@gmail.com or my school email. I am looking forward to seeing some of the fun ones you can come up with.


These are some great examples I found on Instagram. Let's get creative!

Zoom Meeting for Visual Composition Students

It was so great to see some of you yesterday vis Zoom meeting! We are going to do another meet-up tomorrow to discuss upcoming expectations for students in VC1 and just a general meet-up.

Meet us here on Friday, March 20th at 11:30

New Puzzle


Can you guess the artist of this piece based on the context clues that are similar to his more famous work?  This woodblock print (hint, hint) is today's puzzle. Leave your answer in the comments of this post.   Play here!

There is a chat function in the lower left corner of the puzzle....say hi if you stop by to help me with my puzzle.

It's Wednesday!


Today is the day I want to hear from you Visual Compers!

Here is a recap of what is going on so far:

1) Monday I posted an Art Bingo that you should be working on daily. Please send me a pic of your completed work. You can email it to me or upload and share in Office 365.

2) Yesterday I posted a flipgrid for you to drop in and say hello on - thank you to the 3 of you that responded.

3) Today at 11:30 - noonish (we can go longer if need be....) we will have a zoom meet-up with a contest for who has the best bed head!

4) ANY OTHER ASSIGNMENTS you see posted are merely there to help engage your creativity and to grow your artistic practice.  I will be posting lots of fun "extra" art stuff so check in daily!
