Art and Tangle Challenge

I believe that Great Art is a combination of what I call “Art Enhancers”. With that in mind, I developed the Art & Tangle game card — brand new! — a deck with 48 Art Enhancers cards, three of which you see in the picture above.

My lovely friend Deb Correia then had the brilliant idea of creating an Art Challenge based on the Art Enhancer cards. So here it is! If it works and people like the challenge, I'll add more on a regular basis.

The challenge is to use AT LEAST these three Art Enhancers in your next tile (if you own the deck, you can use more). You don't need to own the game to participate, all the information is in this post. Here are the three cards:

Morphing

Gradual and slow transformation
At first, there is tangle envy
Eventually there is a compromise
A third hybrid pattern emerges
Always a surprise, a thing of beauty
Reversing the order can sometimes work better

You can learn a lot more about this Art Enhancer through the video lessons Morphing Part 1 and Morphing Part 2

Fancy 3D Auras

Creates strong barrier
Provides additional embellishment
Affects the entire drawing
Separates sections very visibly
Requires at least 3 auras
Middle section needs additional patterning
Can curve and adapt to 3D shapes

Framed Treasures

Transform something into a treasure
Attach importance and value to something else
Layered frames
Corners are important
Allow focal to breathe
Enhance without taking over

Here's an example of a tile that I created with these same three cards. Although I used two different types of morphs using filler tangles, you don't have to use these. Create your own, or use the morphs provided below.
