Kathy Cheung created this beautiful dress as part of her Holyport College Arts Challenge and presented her work to the rest of the Co-Curricular Arts Challenge group. This is the first time she has ever made a dress and she used curtain fabric and also wore it for her presentation. A fantastic accomplishment!

Here are some slides from students’ projects:

Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavour with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. INKTOBER https://inktober.com/ follow the link from Jake https://youtu.be/ Q320efwokQk

ANYONE CAN DO INKTOBER, JUST PICK UP A PEN AND START DRAWING.

Inktober rules: 1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).

2) Post it* 3) Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2021 4) Repeat Note: you can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. Whatever you decide, just be consistent with it. Inktober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.

That's it! Now go make something beautiful.

*Post it on any social media account you want or just post it on your refrigerator. The point is to share your art with someone. :)
