Since joining Steemit one of my favourite things has been the contests and competitions! I've met tons of cool people so far just by participating and really began connecting with other artists here which is a basically a win-win for everyone. As a total noob it gave me a reason to socialize and the prompts can really help you go outside of your box creatively. I've decided to hold my own, I'm calling it ART EXPLOSION!
Here's the competition, as you can see above the theme this week is GEOMETRY. This can be interpreted as directly or indirectly as you please, all forms of art are acceptable, painting, illustration, photography, music, poetry, a story a comic or any other medium you choose, be creative and surprise me!
+++++++
Upvote and Resteem this post
Make some art (max two entries per person)
Make a post of your own for your entry (add artexplosion in the tags)
Link it here in the comments obviously so I can find it.
Do this before this post expires
I'll be choosing the winner based on whatever tickles and touches me the most! The winner will get 10SBD and 25% of the post payout so if it does well it could be a very nice prize! If I'm having a hard time deciding between two posts there may be an extra prize for honourable mention, I'll call this the wildcard :)
This is not a requirement but it would be a nice gesture to view the other entries and upvote them if you like so we can support each other and pass this on to any artists or friends you think may be interested :)
If this goes well and gets some interest I'd like to make this a weekly thing, I've also considered holding one just for music because there don't seem to be as many music comps, let me know what you think and I can't wait to see what you create!

Excellent idea, Julia, I can't wait to see what people come up with. I'd like to enter myself. Upped and resteemed :) It's not about geometry, but I though you might like to check out my latest poem :) https://steemit.com/poetry/@thebigdelay/poem-ship-of-love
Your poem is sweet, now you need to compose a song/poem relating to geometry :) you have a week (^_-)
Thanks, I'm on it!
I was thinking about your poem ship of love and it reminds me of lyrics from maritime/sailor type songs! I'm from the maritimes so I automatically kind of sang it in my head in that style :)
Thankyou for your kind words... that's really interesting! At the time I was like, "oh I've just accidentally written a sea shanty"
Like this one!
I just find these songs instantly heartbreaking!

Really lovely painting...... Geometry as a form of art is really interesting....
Would try to make a post though....
Here's is the link to my first entry... It about how different elements of art are used in creating an artwork @juliakponsford
https://steemit.com/painting/@dean-mno/fifty-shades-of-red
Coo!, this has a very retro look to it, thanks for the entry!
Steem Geometrics
https://steemit.com/artexplosion/@gunni55/orange-and-steem
This is interesting I'd love to hear about your process what's the medium?
Thanks. It was combining circles, squares and lines creating rays plus the ribbon shapes. Done in pencil first as to eliminate mistakes in designing errors. then paint and finally some touch ups with photo shop.
Oh so a mix of traditional and digital, cool!
Yes
Here is my entry, thanks for the opportunity to show my work
https://steemit.com/art/@nadversion56/entry-for-artexplosion-theme-is-geometry
Cool thanks for entering, I love being able to see the process!
Thanks for the contest!
I can submit to the competition a artwork that was created long ago and is sold on Internet sites?
When is the deadline for submission of artwork for the competition?
The deadline is when this post expires which will be monday, for this time around people have been submitting old stuff because I didn't specify, next weeks I would prefer it to be a new work (at least not one posted on steemit) made specifically with this challenge in mind!
Thanks!
I'm always down for a new creative challenge on steemit. I just made my first #artexplosion entry here https://steemit.com/artexplosion/@brevebronovan/art-explosion-geometry-entries
