| I thought we were not supposed to shoot existing artwork... sculptures, okay, there is a room for some creative photography, but sketches? paintings?! I mean, how is it a photography competition? And what if people shoot somebody else's work - there will be no way to check it (unless it is a known piece), then who are we competing against? And what is the point of this exercise anyway? The next one will be who can do more push-ups? |

| This is wonderful. Not only can I be made to feel bad about my photography skills but now I'll be able to feel bad about my other artistic endeavors, too! Nuts to that (or should I say Peanuts to that!) |

| A very disappointing pair of challenges for the last two of the DPL rounds. |

I also don't quite get this challenge. Surely the best way to digitally show and share sketches or paintings are to scan them in. Is that allowed? Or do people have to light their painting nicely just to take a photo of it? Might have made an interesting and fun side challenge but it's not really adding up for a photography challenge.

| I take it mean take a photo of your work, perhaps with yourself in it or working in another media. Challenges that depict the art alone isn't recommended. I could be mistaken though. |

Unless you have a REALLY, REALLY, high end scanner, no taking a photo of the art with correct lighting is usually better. But yeah, will really have to think on what to do for the challenge!

Ah, that makes more sense. I took it as the actual piece of art itself was what was being voted on. Still very ambiguous though. |

Tools used for the other art form? |

NO as there will be no EXIF data. Its in the rules.

shooting existing artwork is also a violation of the rules, unless an exception explicitly stated. If  Langdon meant shooting an artist in the process of making art, he should've said so. I think the phrasing of the challenge contradicts both the rules and the spirit of DPC. |

I think that rule is specifically regarding existing photographs, not applicable to paintings, drawings, sculptures etc |

| Actually, I suggested this challenge sometime back and I'm surprised to see it used! lol I'm enjoying seeing all the debate over it. |

The rule applies to all artwork. You can't just fill the frame say with a quilt hanging on the wall. Also, it does not mean a portrait of an artist. Taking a picture of finished work is not the only way to depict other art forms nor is taking a picture of an artist at work. This is not a self portrait challenge. |

It's making more sense now. So, some paintbrushes for painting or pencils for sketching. Perhaps a piano if we are including music as an artform. A handkerchief for Arts sculpture. That sort of thing i guess. Or alternatively your art in situ.

Ha, Lev, I beat you by four minutes:

Looks like this thread has the legs, though. SC, feel free to lock the other one. |

I can see it now, a whole "Gulliver's Travels" scenario, with a woody-Gulliver being staked down by a host of Lilliputian booger-people...

Or you could take a shot of it on the monitor - be sure to include something beyond just the image created, so we're not voting on a picture of a picture...
I have to admit to being a bit disappointed at the challenges lately - things like missed focus, camera bag, and this week's peanuts and other art forms. I kind-of feel like challenges should try to be as inclusive as possible - for example, the only camera bag I have is from a video camera more than 10 years old.
However, I must say that there are some fantastic pictures for each of these challenges, and some very creative ideas well-executed.

That's what I'm thinking. I play trombone, piano, and a couple others, so my personal challenge is how to get creative enough to score well.

| Do the boogers have to be from the challenge time period? or can we use old boogers? |
