All members that participate,
can everyone PLEASE ensure that you read all the rules for this challenge
so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you!


Hi everyone, Sylvia here welcoming you to the QUOTE TO WORDART CHALLENGE this month.

:cheer:

Wordart is word(s) plus art - a combination of language and visual imagery.
It gives us an easy way to give meanings to our layouts and is always a perfect way to highlight them with our creativity.

My quote for you this month is from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Every artist was first an amateur."

Use this quote to create your own and personal word art.

Let's make the quote stand out with

1) combination of 1 alpha and at least 1 font
2) word stripes at least behind two words
3) bits or paint or ink or staples or tapes [ look here for inspiration ]

The word art must be clearly visible.
It is the most important detail of the layout.

Otherwise, you can design your layout however you like, traditional, artsy, with or without photos.

Just have fun !!!

:dancing6:

I went looking for a funky alpha to use with this challenge and found this "oldie but goody" alpha with a fantastic bundle Ransom by Vicky Stegall. It reminded me of when art was funky and crazy. And I had found the perfect photos to use with it.

Oh Kay, how cool and creative is that! The painting cat is the hit. And the speech bubble so cleverly placed. LOVE your word art too.
Thanks so much for playing along with my challenge!

Thanks for the challenge. I had to reflect on this a lot. Are we amateurs or artists, and what does it matter? And how would this phrase work its way into my book of stories? In the end, I decided not to write anything.
For me, art can be political or commercial or just part of who I am, and I've just never thought of myself as an amateur. So my page reflects how I had to overthink this. :D

It's the details and interpretations that present a challenge. Placing the word art as a picture on the wall and the scene you create fits the quote beautifully. So cleverly done.
Thanks so much for playing along with my challenge!

My opinion. We are artists and amateurs. Every layout we create is a work of art. And with every new layout where we try out new techniques and compositions, we are amateurs. We learn throughout our lives.

The composition of your layout and the texture is just magnificent. Love the colors too.
Thanks so much for playing along with my challenge!

I went through the collection of well known paintings that I have downloaded over the years and the one featured here just stood out! He seemed to be a budding artist in the making. So perfect for your challenge!
