Like any skill you want to learn, drawing and painting takes practice. The weekly art challenge is designed to help keep you practicing.
Theme: TINY
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 The artwork must be your own and unpublished either online or in print.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 SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, at 11:59 pm EST.

Hello Ms. Bell,
Many thanks for all the art challenges you post and share with us.
My children, Abigail and Lucien love your website and have worked all week on their “tiny” drawings.
However, I tried to submit their drawings, but received an error message.
Please let me know if their drawings did come through, or if there is another way to submit their work?
Many thanks for all you do!
Cecilia
Hi Cecilia,
Sometimes the forms are a little wonky. You can email them to me at Sam AT Artstartsforkids.com.
Hello Ms Bell,
First I must thank you for creating this experience for children around the world! My granddaughter wishes to submit a drawing for the “Tiny” challenge which ends tomorrow. We first submitted it yesterday but it doesn’t appear to have gone through. Neither have today’s attempts. Do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting this issue? I will will try once more now on her behalf. Her name is Natalee and her artwork is titled “Strawberry Pop,” in case you may have received it afterall.
Thank you!
It came through! I’ll get it posted! 🙂
Hello, I am trying to submit but for some reason it won’t work, is there an email I can send this to?
