Finding Artistic Inspiration and Stimulation

We have all spent hours studying works by old and modern masters seeking ideas for color, style, content, perspective, and composition. We would like to present a different selection of art to view; to use as a departure point from which to create an original piece of art.

“Outsider Art” has a certain feeling of spontaneity and innocence , a childlike quality. There is an abandonment of the rules of perspective, composition, and juxtaposition that leads to a freshness.

“…being an artist means getting back in touch with how we once saw the world as a child. We need to see the world with a child’s awareness and curiosity.”  Don Scott

Each week, G.R.A.C.E. will post a piece of art from their collection. We encourage you to use it as inspiration and a departure point for your own original creation. We will post the prompt here and will have an email list as well as a community gallery of the work that our community artists create. 

Prompts will be available on Mondays, with responses due by Sunday Evenings.
