Like any skill you want to learn, drawing and painting takes practice. The weekly art challenge is designed to help keep you practicing.
Theme: Things that Swim
You can view the entries HERE.
How the Challenge Works
- You create a piece of art based on the theme. It can be two or three dimensional. The artwork must be your own and unpublished either online or in print.
- Take a good photo or scan of the artwork.
- Submit the artwork using the form below.
- Only one entry per person.
Prize!
- At the end of the week, each piece entered will receive a number.
- A random number will be drawn using the website Random.org. That art is the winning artwork!
- The artwork/artist with that number will receive a $10 Amazon gift card.
Purpose
The purpose of each challenge is to encourage creativity. It is to help you get started drawing, painting, and making new things. You’ll get the most benefit from the challenge if you create something new instead of entering something you’ve already done.
A Challenge, Not a Contest
This is not a contest. The entries will not be judged. The purpose is to encourage artists of all ages to experience the joy of creating something new.
Because this is not a contest, it is possible some entries may just be scribbles on the page. I reserve the right not to include these types of entries in the challenge. I once heard someone say, “Do your best because you can.” Send in your best work!
Who Can Participate?
Anyone, any age, anywhere!
Remember, to be included in the challenge:
- Artwork must follow the theme. If the art does not really follow the theme, it will be added to the regular gallery.
- It must be your own work.
- It must be appropriate for all ages to view.
- You must send in your artwork NO LATER than FRIDAY, JULY 2, 2021 at 11:59 pm EST.

Hello, yesterday I tried to submit my drawing but as I pressed the submit button it said 404 error and said that the form didn’t submit. I tried at least 10 times (I also tried to compress the picture and convert it to different files) and it just said the same thing so I wasn’t able to submit the drawing.
Sorry you had trouble with the form! Send your art to me at this email address: sam@artstartsforkids.com
