As Art Galleries and businesses are gradually shutting their doors, Christopher was able to get into the Global Maritimes Studio to chat with Alyse Hand about what's happening in the Visual Arts and offer up a challenge to the young viewers. Click here to watch the segment (it will re-direct you to the video on Global Morning) or scroll below to see more info about what was discussed in today’s segment!
“THE YOUNG Artist CHALLENGE”: Create a work based on where you dream of being this March break!
The challenge in on! Think about where you would most like to travel right now…anywhere in the world! Could it be somewhere in Europe, Asia, South America? Maybe a big city like Melboune, New York, Cape Town or Toronto? Or just a beautifully small place close to you that you are just not allowed to visit because of being quarantined or travel restrictions? Next, create an image of what it looks like: a drawing, painting, sculpture, digital…or maybe something else? Then….simply follow the next steps:
Speaking to Linda, she has opted to NOT open to the public but is organizing virtual tours and will be using live social media to connect with people! Creative people creating creative solutions!

STEP 1: ‘Like’ @thechristopherwebb on INSTAGRAM or FACEBOOK
STEP 2: POST IT! Put your image on FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM. If you don’t have an account, post it on a parent or guardians’ page.
STEP 3: Tag Me! When you post your image simply tag me using the above handle, so that I can see it! When you do, don’t forget to tell me your FIRST NAME, AGE, LOCATION and tell me the NAME OF THE PLACE you have created the beautiful work of!
Here are the prizes:
1st PLACE: Christopher will go to your school - wherever it is in the world - and visit your art class and school and tell them what a great artist you are and Christopher can tell everyone in your school how important arts are to the world being a better place! Maybe he can give an art lesson? You’ll have a fun time regardless!
2nd PLACE: An Art exchange between you and Christopher. He will get one of your works of art and Christopher will send you one of his! Take a look at his instagram for some of the watercolours to see what may be coming you way!
3rd PLACE: A Gift certificate for $100 dollars to an art store nearest you!
Please note that the challenge will be open until Christopher announces the winner on an upcoming segment of THE VISUAL ARTS ABSTRACT! Thanks for taking on the challenge!
