This first one is free for everyone!
5 days a week I send you and 4000+ Ten Minute Artists a prompt and a reflection.
Each weekend, I’m now going to send you a weekend challenge. It’s a two step prompt that you can do over two ten minute sessions (or take a bit longer if you want)
Use it as part of your daily practice, or as a challenge to do a little bit extra.
Typically, Part 1 is going to be available to everyone and Part 2 for paid subscribers along with a community challenge and call to collaborate! But for this inaugural weekend, it’s open for everyone!
Print the templates and share them with your family or your classroom, creativity is more fun when shared!
TEN MINUTE ARTIST WEEKEND CHALLENGE (STEP 1)
Use the template to design 30 T-Shirts in Ten Minutes
Here’s would you could put on a T-Shirt…
Your signature
A favourite quote
Entire song lyrics
An iconic building
Your favourite emoji
A drawing of an Animal
A line from your favourite song
A shape, like a star, a heart etc…
A portrait of someone you admire
Anything you can think off, maybe objects from your list!
Just get an idea and scribble it in the T-Shirt, you don’t need to spend more than 10 minutes, no need to make it perfect, it’s just about doing it.
Share your sketches, in the gallery
TEN MINUTE ARTIST WEEKEND CHALLENGE (STEP 2)
Use the template to redraw your best art
Look at your list from step 1, use a red pencil and circle the best one. Redraw it here, spend 10 minutes, do it with a little more care and again you don’t need to spend more than ten minutes.

An invitation to collaborate
The daily practice is a solitary act for the most part, I’m introducing this weekend challenge as a way for us to collaborate directly with each other and the other creatives in the community.
Here’s Some ways I think we can do this:
Share inspiration, collect some nice T-shirt designs and share them, share pictures of your own favourite T-Shirts, say something about why you like them.
Share your sketches from part one, but also share some of your thinking, how did you feel when doing the 30 sketches, which designs are you leaning towards, who do you think would be a good person to model your T-Shirt
Comment on each other’s sketches, share what you like about them and respond to the things they are thinking about, be positive and kind, fill this chat with your best energy!
Share your sketches from part two, why did you pick this one, what’s ther a close second, did you do and of the exercises more than once, would you do it again?
Share ideas about what to do next with the design
💬 Use this chat to collaborate & share your work:
