Sorry gang, there will be no new updates for the weeks of June 26 and July 3. My apologies to all!

peace+joy,

This week, let us be inspired by South Korean photographer Yeondoo Jung’s series Wonderland, a collection of amazing photographs in which he brilliantly brings children’s crayon drawings to life. Read more about the process of his series here.

I Want To Be a Singer, 2004, Yeondoo Jung

Be inspired by the profound imaginations that belong to such little beings!

Here are a few options and ideas on how to have fun with this concept:

1. Using your camera and a few clever props, recreate a child’s drawing á la Yeondoo Jung.

2. Choose a child’s drawing to bring to life in the medium and style of your choice (sculpture, paints, collage, et cetera).

3. Or reverse the concept and choose a photograph to recreate in the medium of your choice.

Let’s revisit a favorite theme of mine: Find the Art in the Everyday. As you go through your day, look for the beauty. Find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Take a photo, draw a sketch, journal about it, then share with all of us here.

This week let us be inspired by the color combination Purple and Orange. From pretty pastels to bold and bright hues, pick the shades of purple and orange you are drawn to most at this moment and let those colors flow into your artwork this week.

This week’s creative challenge is Crayon Art. Whether you opt for the common child’s wax crayon or some sort of upgraded version, what clever and creative uses do you have for crayons?
