Find a partner and take it in turns to lead and follow - what do you notice? What stories do you find in the reflection? #TheWeeklyChallenge #MirrorMirror #64MillionArtists It's #Monday, time to get #moving and shaking with this week's challenge by @RavenstoneDance teacher Charlotte!Create mirror movement-find a partner and take it in turns to lead and follow. What story unfolds in the reflection? #MirrorMirror #64MillionArtists #TheWeeklyChallenge The Weekly Challenge, 11th February 2019 - Mirror Mirror . This week's challenge is set by Charlotte Penn - a mover and shaker from Croydon. Charlotte is a dance and drama teacher, working in several settings across South West London. She is mostly found at Ravenstone Primary School, teaching dance and learning all her cool new moves from the wonderful children there. This week, we are exploring story and connection through playful movement. Let's see what story unfolds in the reflection. . Create mirror movement! Find a partner, and decide who is going to be the leader and who is going to follow. Using your hands, arms and whatever follows, begin your movement and allow the other person to mirror you. You could choose music or try in silence - slower is usually better! Take it in turns to swap leading and following, and see if you can swap spontaneously. If you prefer, use a mirror as your partner! Stand in front and notice how your movements reflect the music and create a story. Is there a certain mindfulness to your movements? What stories, metaphors and moments do you notice in the invisible connection? Is the connection fragile like uncooked spaghetti or strong and elastic like a rubber band? Share with video, pictures, sketches or write a short story or poem inspired by the experience. .

Recently I went to a wedding and it was a steam punk theme and I found this black dress at an op shop for $20 and it had WINGS sewed from the bottom of the skirt to the bottom of the sleeves and the wings were covered in diamanties. I want to wear sparkling wings every day. This drawing is loosely based on an animated character from Airbender. ☝️ #64millionartists #make365 day 23 #365insideoutside #updo #wingsuit #rising #michellekayartist #thejanuarychallenge: Make something taller than you. Back on the day of this prompt this idea was cooked up with @papertigerstudio. I went on a break the day after, but always wanted to get around to implementing it. This image was taken in October 2018 when we were hiking on the appellation trail in Upstate New York and saw an absolute abundance of various mushrooms! #64millionartists #make365 day 22 #365insideoutside #fungai #fungus #shrooms #michellekayartist Art Diamonds challenge week 4 - create a Magical Creature.

How inspired #64millionartists #whitegloves #behindthescenes #museum #meettheteam #ditchling #64millionartists weekly challenge. Make wigs from whatever you can find! Inspired by the work of Hana Wilde who created a wig a week when her mum was diagnosed with cancer. It's World Cancer Day. Today is World Cancer Day, and the perfect day to introduce you to Hana. Hana Wilde is a visual artist based in Scotland. She uses craft techniques and humour to explore our relationships to our environment and each other. When her mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2016, she used her work to support her in a truly creative way.’Weekly Wigs’ began as a personal project, and blossomed into an inspiring social media awareness-raising campaign. Every week, Hana created a new wig inspired by her surroundings, and encouraged others to do the same. The results were fantastic (see some highlights below)! Take a look at Hana’s website here, to see more amazing wig endeavours and more about Hana’s work. Breast Cancer Care also wrote a blog about the campaign, which you can find here. Create a wig out of whatever you can find! Have a look around. That old jigsaw with half the pieces missing? The packing peanuts about to be thrown out at work? The world is your oyster – or rather, your wig. Now that something has caught your eye, how can you (safely!) turn it into a wig? Can you knot it, glue it, wire it, sew it, staple it or tie it together? What hairstyles can you make? One of Hana’s favourite tricks is to take strips of cardboard from an old cereal box, staple them into a rough helmet shape, and attach any materials to the cardboard helmet. You could also use an old hat, shower cap, or hair-net as a base! You’d be surprised what you can get on your head if you try… Full challenge here: http://ow.ly/zOAx30nxPrB #weeklywigs #64millionartists #worldcancerday #cancerawareness #breastcancerawareness My Sunday morning.

If you'd like me to send it to you anywhere in the world then send me a personal message with your address. ️ Picking up again on the prompt of make something using fruit which I didn't really do on that day. Swipe to see the process I used to lay down the juice - I used both hands at once with two different sizes brushes. I thought the juice would end up turning out brighter than it did. Some colour definitely needed to be added just for fun #64millionartists #make365 day 19 #365insideoutside #fruity #drawingisfun #divination #michellekayartist
