There are two ways to earn the Artist badge.
- Do some art
- Know about art
Option 1: artist
- Do some art
- Take photos as you go and send us pictures of work in progress and finished
- Send photos of a selection of your recent work
- Paint, draw or illustrate each of these:
- a scene from a story
- a person or object
- a landscape.
- Show a selection of your own recent work.
Option 2: arts enthusiast
- Choose a favourite art form or artist to take an active interest in. It
doesn’t have to be painting – it could be pop music, sculpture, theatre,
architecture, break dancing or anything similar. - Describe two visits you have made that are connected to your interest. You can use photographs, films, recordings, concert programmes, ticket stubs, newspaper reviews or websites to illustrate your point.
- Show that you know a lot about an aspect of your interest. You could talk about a particular piece of art, like a painting, performance, sculpture or building. Or you could discuss a particular person or historical period connected with your chosen art form.
- Make a list of major events, exhibitions or venues connected with your chosen subject. Talk about why the items on your list are important.
