New Topic: The Jungle

Considering it's been like two months since the last post, I thought it was high time for a new topic. Sorry this is totally out of topic giving order... just thought a new topic might get the blog rolling again.

Welcome!

This is The Weekly Sketchbook: a place where people who are created in the image of God can reveal their artistic gifts through the use of a weekly topic.

How It Works: Each week a different member of the blog thinks of a topic, and posts it on the blog. A normal topic is usually pretty simple (like Topic #1: Moose), and members of the blog are invited to share their interpretation of the topic by drawing it and posting it--not to be thought of as another e-chore, but to draw and post whatever, and whenever one feels like doing so. The art doesn't need to be complicated; who doesn't enjoy a good stick figure?

How to Become a Member: One becomes a member of the blog by being invited by someone who is already a member. Members are encouraged to invite others, but only if they are awesome. We created the blog to help ensure that the art seen on the blog is acceptable for all to see, and we hope this is encouraging to others.

However, if you would like to be invited to the blog, but haven't been, it doesn't hurt to ask.

The Weekly Sketchbook isn't designed just for people who consider themselves artists. The Weekly Sketchbook is designed to glorify God through what we do; whether it is painting a Moose, or just enjoying art that was created by others. Commenting on people's art is a good teaching tool and laughing tool, as well as a way to affirm others in Christ.
