![]() ![]() That brought home to me that art is about far more than just being able to draw well. Then there were people putting together very simple collages with maybe just a couple of elements, or just a quote against a background, a few marks on paper and yet sometimes the simpler 'easier' looking index card creations were the ones that spoke to me the most, the ones that touched something in me. On the one hand there were the people who I thought were good enough to be professional artists, people who could draw and paint like a dream. I was really pleased to find that I enjoyed viewing the work of so many different types of artist. I have learned about things I didn't know of before, like 'one staple collage.' I have always been a great fan of what I called 'low key creativity' and the ICAD challenge was a great way for me to explore that further. I enjoyed seeing other people's work and think the private group was a great idea and provided such a supportive and inspiring environment. ![]() Before I discovered Daisy Yellow I had never even considered creating something on an index card and I loved the challenge of having to work with something so small. Gather the materials you have on hand and start experimenting. I invite you to proactively seek out beauty in the process of making, of taking simple index cards and altering them! The possibilities are endless. You might choose to simplify what you create, or shift your expectations to take away any perceived pressure. Remember that art can help in ways that are difficult to describe in words. We inspire each other while we inspire ourselves. It is comforting to focus on making and sharing what we create with art friends around the world. I didn’t have any idea whether anyone would be in the mood to do ICAD but we had a record turnout! It was incredibly uplifting to see the colorful art flying! We were freaked out and didn’t know what on earth was happening. In 2020 we held our 10th annual challenge amidst the early phase of the pandemic. Many artists actually STARTED their art journey during ICAD - yup, started fresh without any experience - simply kept going - are now painting and journaling and doing all sorts of fun artsy things. You’ll be playing along with absolute beginners, people who have been doing art for years, people who want to try a new art form, people who are teaching themselves a new medium, people rebooting an art love after decades away, and people who want to challenge themselves to stick with this crazy daily challenge. This is incredibly important to ICADians (participants) and one of the key aspects of ICAD is that we encourage each other to create, and we help newbies feel comfortable joining.Īll sorts of creative people participate each year. This is about creativity! I’ve worked with our growing community for over a decade to keep this endeavor non-competitive. Please know that the work you create does not need to be good - it doesn’t need to be defined|classified by other people as art.
