About 64 Shades of Wax
"64 shades of what?" you ask? By wax we mean that drawing material we all indulged in for hours as a child but for the most part have put aside as adults-- the crayon.
"Why 64?" While crayola now has boxes of crayons with up 170 shades, for us the box of 64 is the one that brings us back to those early years of creative excitement. Do you remember the joy of a new box of crayons? How they smelled? How they looked?
This project aims to explore creativity though the limitation of a forgiving and comforting medium, the crayon. Each week for the next 64 weeks we will choose one crayon from Crayola's box of 64 and find something fun to do with it. From opposite sides of North America, Ariel and Ashley will put to the test the powers of Wisteria and Cobalt and everything in between.
In addition to our own work we want to see your tests too! Each Monday when we post our creative works we'll also post the color for the following week. You find something to do with it and post your results to our Flickr group.
Art doesn't do well with rules, so lets just call these "project guidelines:"
You must use the color of the week and no other crayon colors.
While additional tools and media may be included, the crayon color of the week must be primary and integral.
Images must be posted to the flickr group by noon on Sunday so we have time to compile a few for the blog post.
Please tag all your images with 64shadesofwax and the crayon color (i.e. cobalt, skyblue, macaroni)
Please license your image under the creative commons license, so we can post it into the blog. If you don't know about this go here.
The most important thing: have fun, let the color guide you.
