Coming Soon!

Be on the look out for our first Art a la Carte assignment! We are currently working on our first concept for November, which will be posted by the end of Friday, November 9, 2012. We are coming up with a list of ideas and are aiming to release a new concept at the beginning of each new month.

When the concept is announced, take the idea and think about what it means to you and how you are interested in portraying that idea. Once you've completed your painting, photograph, crayon drawing, pencil shading, musical interpretation, sculpture, or whatever medium your creative mind wants to explore, send a photograph or link (to an audio file, video file, etc. that you have posted on YouTube, or Vimeo, etc.) to diana.nagai@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name (or leave name blank if you'd like to be anonymous) and your age (even if you're anonymous, please send us your age).  We will post late entries (although, as we announce new concepts, viewers may concentrate on newer galleries).

Remember, art is personal. Please keep comments inquisitive and positive.

Thank you,
Diana

P.S. We give thanks for LEGO Quest Kids for inspiring us to create this forum. We enjoyed their monthly quests and were sad to see them end. We hope this new venture will fill our needs.
