The Digital Wall At CMA where you can look at images right there |
The Red Kerchief, Claude Monet (CMA) |
And CMA is not the only one!! The National Gallery, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago all have open their images free to the public.
So I have a challenge! I challenge YOU to browse through the museums' collections - pick some picture that inspires you and let it jump start you onto a new path in your creative journey. Now this doesn't have to be anything formal. It can be sketches, digital or ..... gasp.....actual fabric!!! But let your imagination run wild and take the plunge into these collections.
I will be sharing mine over the next few weeks and I would love it if you would too. Anybody who does please link back to this original post so that maybe it will inspire someone else to take the plunge into Open Access!
So What Have You Been Up to Creatively?
Now its your turn to link up!
Here are the rules:
- Link up any post from the past week that is creatively driven, WIP, Finish Pieces, Process oriented etc - Art Quilt perferred, any media accepted
- Somewhere in your post, please link back to my blog
- Please visit some of the other blogs and leave a comment or two - an encouraging word means a lot to an artist!
- Be Inspired!

In the words of my senator - this is HUGE! I’m always looking for opyright free images to play with and be inspired by. I didn’t know about this resource so thank you so much. I would love to play along.
Je ne sais pas si en Europe, il y a le même mouvement.Je vais voir. Et si! peut être que je vais essayer le challenge:)))
Thanks for sharing your discovery with us. Fabulous challenge idea.
I am answering here since it seems that I don't get emailed comments anymore due to changes of blogspot :(. Please let me know if you blog about your challenge and I will post a link to them on my post. Marianne - you can certainly use any of the United States Museums if you want. If anybody has questions or comments please email me privately at ninamariesayre at gmail. I think this will be fun!
Ah, I missed this linkup, hope you do another one. That you for the art info!
