I got a little behind in my creative summer challenges, so I’m happy to report I’m all caught up for now.
For assignment #5 we agreed to illustrate a postcard or series of postcards. I choose to use the words in my blog banner for inspiration. To illustrate these words, I dug through my pile of photographs from our adventures over the years, from living in the mountains to playing in the sea.
Explore.
Discover.
For assignment #6 we agreed to illustrate a map. I was inspired by this site, which has the coolest variety of illustrated maps. I had all sorts of ideas for this one, but I decided to keep it relatively simple for my first attempt by doing a map of my favorite places in our downtown. I love the idea of illustrating maps to highlight favorite shops and restaurants, so I am hoping to practice this technique more.
At the end of last semester, we came up with a list of about 20 creative projects to work on over the summer to continue our creative learning. I’m not sure what we’re going to do for our next art project, but I’m hoping to keep these illustration experiments going. I’m thinking about working on a digital art project next, since I learned so much with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to getting back to my drawing practice.

What a cute map Terri!
I second Sara-PRECIOUS hometown map!
Wow Terri you have been so busy…either that or I’ve been off the computer longer than I thought….maybe both.
Anyway I love your postcard series. Your class looks like such fun & I can’t wait to see your digital art.
Terri-
I enjoyed your drawings. I like your assignments. Your sketches on flickr were also fun to look at. Keep up with your sketches. I really do enjoy seeing them. When do you go back to school, or have you started already? Enjoy your week.
Those look fun! I really love your map one. I bet that was a lot of fun to do!
I love the Hometown map!
Yeay – well done on getting caught up with your challenges – they all look great! Love the hometown map. Your zippered pouches in your previous post are way cute too and you’re right – they’re so handy to have. You’ve been very productive 🙂
Dearest sweet terri, these postcards are lovely and i espeially adore that last one with Verona! A digital art project sounds wonderful and i am looking forward to it! Have a lovely merry happy week and love to you!
