Take something simple and make it beautiful Start Date: August 10, 2009
End Date: October 5, 2009 Now right now most of you are probably thinking:
What the hell? What does that mean

? Let me explain.
What I want you to do is take something laying around the house, or something small, or something that most people would completely disregard for its inferiority. I want you to take that one thing and show it in a whole new light. Now this thing can be as small as a few grains of sand or as odd as a toilet or as big as a lonely tree. I want you to experiment with your surroundings! If you are still not convinced I will share with you a list of examples:
Shoes, dust, small window, pillow, toilet, toiletry items, kitchen utensils, kitchen tools, clock, finger, headphones, iPod, mP3 player, nail polish, camera, pencil, markers, pen, book, piece of paper, notebook, eye, mouth, lips, keychain, purse, notepad, tile, tie, shoelace, hat, CD, disk, pencil case, picture frame, paper clip, flower petal, grain of sand, fabric, stapler, safety pin, tree, chain, fence, leaf, etc. etc. ^ THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES ^ there are so many more things you can do.
Again, like in my last contest, if you are unsure about your submission just show it to me via note and I will tell you if its ok or not. Dont be afraid of me, I dont bite! Haha What I want you to gain from this contest is to not be afraid in the future to experiment with your surroundings and to take a picture or paint a picture of something that looks a bit ordinary at first glance. However, I dont want you to just take a picture of a fork or paint a picture of an apple. I want you to take that fork or take that apple and show it in a completely different way and make it beautiful, meaning make the viewer go Wow, I never thought of it that way or Wow, I never looked at a fork in that way

The following mediums are acceptable:
Photography
Digital Art
Traditional art (no ceramics or sculpture sorry
) Still not convinced? Well here are some real examples that truly capture what I want you to do for this contest:
(NOTE THESE ARE NOT ENTRIES, JUST EXAMPLES)


Now, looking at these examples you may be thinking These are mostly macros
thats not really my thing
Au contraire my friend. Your submission doesnt
have to be a macro or a zoomed in shot of something. Just as long as its something simple or ordinary and you make it beautiful in some way or another
