#RIEKE ART CHALLENGE
I began posting daily art challenges on Instagram when schools closed for Covid-19. Now, that distance learning has begun, I now am posting weekly challenges. You can find them here or on our @art_rieke_elementary instagram page. You can do this week's challenge or scroll through past challenges to do whatever catches your interest!

"Shadowology"
Get out your flashlight! This week's challenge is based on the shadow art of @vincent_bal
Find an object and cast a shadow on a paper. Move the light around until you get an interesting shape.
What do you see?
Draw to turn the shadow into something creative and fun!
Take a photo and share it to #riekeartchallenge on instagram or with the button below.
Thank you @vincent_bal for the inspiration. Visit his page on instagram to see more #shadowology

This week's challenge comes to us from @sittonstudio and a Rieke third grader. Use the patterned papers from inside security envelopes to create an awesome robot! Collect envelopes from your recycling and craft your own! Look at the detailed robot drawing and think about fun details that you can add.
