MAIN CHALLENGE 4: The Collage Challenge

Your challenge for this week is to make an art set, but not the kind of art set you would expect! For this challenge, everyone is making a collage. I know I'm going to get a lot of people asking, what's a collage? It's an art set that isn't just a photo with textures on it... it's a collection of images, text, drawings, whatever else you want. Here are some examples. :)


If anyone else still has questions about what you're supposed to do, then post them here. :)
Have fun, and be creative! I look forward to seeing what fun collages ya'll come up with. Take risks :)
By the way, this is an ART challenge. Fashion sets won't be accepted. Your entries for this challenge are due MONDAY night at MIDNIGHT EST.

BONUS CHALLENGE 4: Primarily

The world is full of many different colors. But all these colors originate from 3 colors... the primary colors, RED, BLUE, and YELLOW. So your bonus challenge for this week is to make a fashion set where the outfit is made up of only the 3 primary colors!
All the parts of the outfit that you WEAR, like the shirt/skirt/pants/jewelry/bag/shoes, must be either red, blue, or yellow.
You DON'T have to use all 3 colors... but you can't use any colors other than those 3, if that makes sense. :) All other items, such as photos/background items/perfumes etc. don't have to be in the 3 primary colors. But the point is for the outfit to be made up of those colors.

This is a FASHION challenge. No art sets will be accepted. Your entries for this challenge are due WEDNESDAY at MIDNIGHT EST.

One more thing gals... I'm going to Cheery's next week, and I'm leaving Thursday. So if I'm late with the results, sorry, but I'll try to get them up while I'm there.
Have fun with this week's challenges! Questions? Sorry if the explanations are confusing.

'April showers bring May flowers'

Miracle

I don't know if your christians, but I spied god today. All of this week, it has been raining at the most inconvenient times, [in between classes while trying to reach them OUTDOORS] and the wind, howling. Today we had an early dismissal from school because of the end of 3rd quarter, and almost right when we got home, the sky turned blue and all the rain clouds vanished. odd. The wind was still there though of course, and my friend was stuck babysitting her younger sister. We were in my friends 'woodsy' backyard on the swingset, when the wind began to pick up. My friend's little sis was on the bars, struggling to get up. She then gave up and walked away from the bars, when a big gust of wind blew a huge LOG of a branch out of the sky, landing in the very spot under the bars. It was the doing of god. We hugged her like crazy and told her how lucky she was.

FASHIONNESS

IN: Rainboots
OUT: Galoshes

Since we have been talking about frightful weather today, how convenient is it to introduce fashionable waterproof accessories?

RAINY DAY FASHION TIPS
BY:Jessica Shapiro

1. Raincoat: I'm not talking about the coats that zip themselves up into a bag, or those from MEC that look as if they are made for treks through the Costa Rican rainforests. When I say raincoat, I mean a fully-lined, double-breasted trench coat, from a place like Urban Outfitters, that comes in an assortment of colours. These fashionable jackets will keep you dry, warm and stylish so you don't have to cry about being wet, when Montreal decides to cry on you.

2. Umbrella: We all love those umbrellas that shrink to the size of your forearm when closed and always come in handy when we're caught in a light drizzle. But on those days (much like the ones we've been experiencing recently) when the rain is coming down as hard as rocks and being swept under and up those little collapsable contraptions, we are in need of bigger and better protectors. It's time to get a real umbrella and while you're at it, don't be shy to pick one with an endearing design. The cuter it is, the trendier you'll look "walkin' in the rain."

3. Rain Boots: Rain boots are one accessory you won't have any trouble finding nowadays. Colourful rain boots in an assortment of patterns are being sold almost everywhere. At first, they were a tad obnoxious, but after dealing with soaking wet socks at the end of every school day for the past two weeks, I've started to take a liking to these tall rubber shoes. For wet students, these are a real hit.

4. Scarves: This sounds like an odd addition to your rain attire, but scarves have proven to be a handy rain guard for many people I know. While protecting our precious necks from the cold, wet wind, scarves also seem to provide useful coverage for our hair! When running from Leacock to Shatner, or whatever short distance you may be attempting, the scarf can save your hair from getting wet if you hold it above you or wrap it around your head. Although it sounds like a silly gesture, if done properly it can look quite elegant, while allowing your 'do to last the day.

5. iPod with happy music: The last accessory that I will suggest is this-an iPod or any music device with the most upbeat tunes you have. Walking to class in the pouring rain is enough to spark minor depression in even the happiest of people. Waking up morning after morning to the same grey sky may even be fatal for some. One of the best ways to conquer this bad mood is to listen to some cheerful music on your way to wherever you are going. The iPod is a modish accessory in any kind of weather, but particularly helpful in the rain. Listen to a little "Dreams be dreams" by Jack Johnson and the mornings won't be so harsh on our hopeful souls.

A D V i C E C O L U M N ~

Dear Katy,

okay...so its just that i got these sleeveless tops but i think i look fat in them (duh coz i am but i look REALLY fat in them..wut 2 do?????????????????

-SleevelessStyle

Dear SleevelessStyle,

I am assuming you are referring to tops without the sleeves on the shoulders... To tell you the truth, I think that I would stick to "sleeved tops". Maybe you can layer them with other sleeved tops underneath, or something like that if you are feeling selfconcious. You should always go out feeling confident about actually feeling like you look great is always a plus! Maybe try referring to my earlier post about empacized waist line tops, for more ideas, as well as watching, "What Not to Wear", on TLC. (<= Thats what I watch to keep on top of things) G.U.P.S

Great Work everyone!!! :) I am so proud with everyone's sets, and nice try Rachel. Maybe try your hardest to build up your skills for next year's contest! :) Again, remarkable work gals! Judging was tough this week because of all the awesome sets.

WEEK 3

MAIN CHALLENGE 3: Change it Up

The people whose sets I most enjoy on Polyvore are those who don't have a set style. It's awesome when people use their creativity and do something different. And this week is your chance to do exactly that, because you're going to change up your style.
So here's how it works. I have 4 layouts, and 4 styles. Each of you is going to be assigned one. The 4 of you that get a layout assignment are going to need to make a fashion set using the layout given. And the 4 of you who get style assignments are going to need to make a fashion set using the style given. Easy enough, isn't it? Don't be afraid to try new things! Be bold, be creative, and have fun most of all.
This is a FASHION challenge. Please keep your art sets away, cuz I'm not accepting em here. This is also the mandatory challenge. Make sure you do it, or you're going to have to be eliminated, and you don't want that. These assignments are done by me, in an attempt to stay in keeping with everyone's ability. And if you have any questions about what constitutes your given assignment... post em here and I'll try to dig up an example for you.
Layout people:
Marla- Mosaic
Moose- Splurge or Steal
Lemon- Mannequin
Britta- Fill in the shape

Style people:
Sparkle- Bohemian
Bri- Nerdy/Geeky
Duckie- Artsy
Swimmer- Grunge
Have fun doing something different!

BONUS CHALLENGE 3:
Shrink the SetI'm sure many of you have seen the tiny sets on Polyvore. If not, here's what I'm talking about. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=6920646 [This is just an example. Your set can be whatever you want as long as it's art and it's little.] They're really cute and fun to look at. Your challenge for this week is to make one. No other requirements other than it MUST be ART. Wow me.This will be a fun week, and I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with. Yay for creativity.
