Objective:
Create "Index Card Art" inspired by the provided prompt.
Details:
This micro objective is part of our ongoing series, "index card art." We chose index cards for two reasons. First, index cards are inexpensive and readily available. We don't expect that it will be difficult for any of you to procure an index card. Second, many who don't consider themselves "artists" tend to stress about creating or sharing art. Using an index card instead of a sketch book lends itself to silliness. Have fun with the prompt! We're not looking for perfection, just a good time. You can save your index cards and look back at them over time, or throw them away. The choice is up to you!
1) Gather your supplies. You'll need an index card (4x6 or 5x7,) a pencil and something to fill in your sketch with color. (We used markers, but you could use crayons, colored pencils, or something else. Remember to keep it simple!)
You'll also need a stack of three or more books!
2) Interpret the prompt below to make your index card art.
Place a stack of three or more books before you and sketch them.
Consider starting with a pencil, then fill in your sketch with color. Capture the shape of the books, as well as fonts, textures and colors.
3) Take a photo of your index card art and share it in our Facebook group. Alternatively, you can post it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts.
