GOTHIC ARCH CHALLENGE - SCHOOL



Nancy Maxwell James has set up a new Gothic Art Challenge Blog with a new theme every Sunday incorporating Gothic Arches.

Our first challenge is to create a gothic arch with a "School" theme. What are your thoughts about school? Maybe it is the classmates, the strict teacher or playing at recess...use your imagination to create a collage, rubber stamps, mixed media, whatever strikes your fancy and post it here.

I have used papers by Basic Grey , 7Gypsies Rub On Transfers , Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous , Images from art-e-zine.
