ian's picks - week 22: SCIENCE

Hypothesis: It will be extremely difficult to only pick a few handfuls of artworks this week.

Method: Hi everyone, Ian McLean here - on the stroke of “Ian o’clock” - to bring you my faves for Science Week. Thank you to the Challenge team for trusting me with this very important task. I think I predicted a few subjects, others made me very jealous that I hadn’t thought of them, and there were also a few “Eureka” moments as artists came up with some wonderful, unexpected innovations and discoveries. 

Result: Clever science buffs with such arty DNA, all of you. Yes, in theory my task was difficult, but I had a (plasma) ball. So many styles, media, energy and ideas! Enjoy!

nicky's picks - week 20: STILL LIFE

I started oil painting at nine years of age and many of my first paintings were still life focussed. I can clearly remember thinking it was SO boring, but it became very clear through my continuous still life paintings that this focus taught me how to 'see' objects, light and shadows and develop the multitude of skills that I still use today.

I have LOVED seeing the interpretation of this week's theme 'still life'.
