If we were to have more Art, good ol' fashioned art, no photoshop or anything, contests, how would you like them to be run?
Have a theme? Create work off of a quote? Shoot out some ideas! |

Those sound good so far. Maybe ask for specific mediums or something as well.

Work inspired by a quote would be really neat to see. It will definitely show a very creative side to the artists here, and it would be interesting to see how they interpret the quote.

Oooh, a quote! That sounds awesome. I'm just worried that, with the current art contests that don't get very many submissions and there are no restrictions there.....then again, maybe a theme will encourage submissions...
I'm going in circles.  But yes, QUOTE! |

Because, for example, I rock with just pencil, but then again I suck at watercolors. So, by doing the medium restriction, I feel like i'm kind of restricting peoples creativity. I'm glad people like the quote idea. Yayy. Now I need to find..like..some really profound and artistic quotes. Kaycciiiiiiii- Maybe a quote with a theme! :O |

Or even black/white theme vs. color theme. I thought it would be a cool idea to have one of those elimination contests kind of like CBNTM where everyone votes. |

 I like the quote idea too.

Yeah, I've been planning on doing this sort of thing for a while now (as well as with the photography contest), so I guess I should probably try getting it up and running sometime soon since cB actually seems to be catching up on its activity.

^ Word up to that.
 The quote idea seems like a good one. For another theme, I'd say memories of the artists life or childhood. Then the artist could caption it with the memory they chose. |
