Calling all ARTISTeemians, of all genres, all mediums and all expressions.
Get out your imaginations and come out to play!
Steemit is the perfect venue for our collaborative art works.
We get to have an instant gathering of like-minded, inspired artists.
We get to meet at all hours of the night and day and share perspective.
We get nearly instant feedback, receive info on programs and applications
useful for creative image manipulation,
and our community is becoming more close knit
and connected with every interaction.
Together over 50 Steemian Artists - or ArtiSTeemians -
have created a portfolio of over 230 masterpieces,
including photography, poetry, sound, collage,
product design, books, stories, videos and more.
LET'S PLAY AGAIN, AND LET'S DO IT NOW!!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is how we do it:
1.
MY OFFERING
I offer you "Shadow Mandala"
to be used as a base for the collaborative piece.
This is a photo I took on our deck of the shadow of our little cafe table. Shadows and reflections really inspire me and I take every opportunity to capture their beauty.
2.
TRANSFORM IT
Print the image or do whatever it is you do
to add to/or alter it.
(i.e., including but not limited to painting, drawing,
adding other photographs, collaging,
altering it digitally or however you wish . . .or perhaps even adding a tune, poetry, a story, a gif, a video, a book, or other imaginative play.
You can make as many versions as you'd like--we wouldn't want to stifle ourselves!
We're artists, so anything goes!
3.
MAKE A POST ABOUT IT
sharing your process and anything about it that inspires you.
Note: Making a post is not a requirement to play, so don't let any time constraints or "rules" get your patties up in a wad. But, if you do make a post about it with your process we can share our works more prolifically and people will likely be intrigued by seeing how it developed. I know I will!
4.
TAG YOUR POST
with #art and #CollaborativeArtJourney
(and of course any other tag that fits your finished piece).
5.
SHARE IT HERE
Copy the link from your post into a comment below.
(If you don't make a post--though I hope you will--please just post your finished piece in the comments below so we can find it easily.)
6.
DEADLINE
Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at Midnight CST.
After the deadline I will make a post featuring all the collaborations and highlighting all the different pieces inspired by the same original photo/art.
(If you don't make it by the deadline, that doesn't mean you can't play, it just means I may post our finale piece before you get your submission in to be included.)
7.
PAYING IT FORWARD
I will be donating rewards from this post to my favorite and most honorable group doing humanitarian works, @gardenofeden (www.intothegardenofeden.com).
(I am a full-time volunteer at the @gardenofeden, building a new world based on the vision of @quinneaker, creating a life based on sustainability, freedom and responsibility--holding space for the betterment of humanity and freedom for the children! This is an incredibly worthy cause I support with 100% of my energy! Here is Why We Live In Community.
Here is what we're up to right now at the @gardenofeden:
Growing a Life of Freedom - Empowered and Immersed in Unconditional Love
Gallery of Uber Dank Epic Salads
8.
INVITE
If you know other artists, musicians, videographers, photographers or others who would also like to play, please share this post so we can get the artistic juices and steem rolling, while expanding our artists' community for all artists, including others outside the visual arts!
9.
SUPPORT AND SHARE THE LOVE
Upvote, resteem, share in chats, and make comments to help spread the joy of our artistic endeavors. Let's help all of our posts and masterpieces have a powerful opportunity to be seen. Supporting each other is truly some of the greatest beauty of this platform. Please take note of other artists' participation and give them some extra love.
10.
POST IN THE CHATROOM
"Art-Collaborations-Links-and-Creative-Inspirations"
This is the perfect place to promote these collaboration posts, encourage discussion, and an easy, all-in-one place to view and support others working together toward building a powerful artist community through shared art.
If you participate in other art collaborations on Steemit, feel free to use this chatroom to share those collaborations as well. Please use this chatroom ONLY for collaborative work. No individual posts please.
11.
GRANTING PERMISSION
Important!!! -- Please note that by participating in these collaborations, all artists hereby grant permission to have their art shared in some other way (perhaps a show, printing them, making a gift of them, or otherwise at my discretion). I will give updates as I figure out how best to use them, and of course, give credit where credit is due. If you don't want to give permission, please don't play.
~*~*~*~*~
There is no competition here, just collaboration, cooperation, camaraderie, and mutual support. We are creating together something never seen before, and we are building it from the ground up. We are seizing this opportunity to share great works with the world.
I'm truly grateful for all those who bring their creative spirit to this community.
