Hello all, I've been trying to think of different types of contests that wouldn't be too difficult, since I know we're all exhausted from surviving 2020. This will be the first type of contest/challenge we've done in a while, considering how much things have changed since the site update, so hopefully it works out well. Of course, we're always open to your feedback and suggestions! The Prompt The prompt is simple: use one (or more) of the tutorials that have been posted through @projecteducate to create artwork that you'll submit as an entry to this contest. While at first this may seem only relevant to beginners in any art medium, we do also have tutorials for more advanced artists. Furthermore, you can try your hand at a different art medium, or a different style of art you might not be familiar with. Some tutorials go beyond just telling you something basic like "how to draw a horse" and instead discuss matters of style. Also, some tutorials don't have to do with the artwork

Have you ever felt that there is something fundamentally wrong with your artwork? I think each of us has been in this situation before. Imagine: you've been looking at the same image for hours on end, fiddling with this and that, but still you can't shake the feeling that something is off, not right - flawed. Is it your imposter syndrome? ...maybe. Is it your brain telling you that it's four AM and it's time to go to sleep? Also, maybe (look at the clock, won't you?). But maybe there's another reason - one that's hard to see, especially if you really have been looking at the same image for hours. Our brains have the tendency to accept what we have in front of our eyes for a longer period of time as correct - this is why writers are often advised to let texts sit in their drawers for a while and then do revisions, and why digital artists often flip canvases to check for mistakes. This blindness can affect anyone - beginner and professional alike. But if you are a beginner, there are

Without belittling the other branches of photography, good photojournalism is probably one of the most challenging of all the genres as one has the least control over subject matter, composition and light. What is photojournalism? Occasionally, a very unique photo, in which form is precise and rich enough and content has enough resonance, is sufficient in itself. But that's rarely the case. The elements of a subject that speak to us are often scattered and can't be captured in one photo; we don't have the right to force them together, and to stage them would be cheating...which brings us to the need for photojournalism. "The real truth of life is on the streets. Photograph the daily lives of people, and how they exist, and how they fight for space and time and pleasure." - Don McCullin In our contemporary society, one so over-inundated with imagery, it is easy to overlook the power of a single frame to change the way we look at the world, or rally disparate

It's been a few months since I've posted a 15 Under 15 feature - mostly because I am just exhausted. My concentration and memory has not been great lately, and my brain just feels broken most days. The week before last, I realized that I had fallen into a rut of of not eating great, so I put together a fresh and veggie-focused meal plan for the week, put on my mask, and went grocery shopping. I was kind of worried I would let my groceries go to waste, but I actually managed to make all of the recipes I set out to make, and with my audiobook playing, it was really relaxing to get back in the kitchen again and it brought me a little happiness during the week. I'm really over summer (honestly, I'm always over summer), and I can't wait for Autumn weather again. I've been making hot tea in the evenings, which I always find very calming, but it's always better when there's a chill in the air. This weekend I purchased some of my Autumn staples: Embrew tea (Their creamy honey oolong is my
