The Basquiat Freedom Portrait Challenge is set to captivate artists and art enthusiasts alike from May 17th through May 19th. Hosted within the Sketchar AR Drawing App, this exciting event calls on users to channel the spirit of legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and create a portrait that celebrates the essence of freedom. Get ready to wield your digital brushes and let your creativity soar as you experiment with Sketchar's robust AR drawing tools. Embrace Basquiat's signature style, marked by raw energy, expressive linework, and a vibrant color palette. Infuse your portrait with symbols and motifs that evoke the universal longing for liberty, individuality, and self-expression. Whether you take inspiration from current events, personal experiences, or the timeless human struggle, this challenge invites you to make a bold, thought-provoking statement through your art. Submissions will be judged by a panel of esteemed artists and art educators, who will evaluate each piece based on its creativity, technical execution, and effectiveness in capturing the theme of freedom. The winner will receive a one-of-a-kind digital artwork by a renowned street artist, as well as having their creation featured within the app. So gather your creative courage, channel your inner Basquiat, and let your freedom-inspired portrait spring to life on the digital canvas.
