Week 16 by @laurendoughty_

I love art challenges. Anything that prompts you to create something—whether that’s over the course of a day, week, month—is a great way to stretch your creativity. In clicking around Instagram, I came across Still Here, a weekly still life drawing challenge hosted by Zena Kay and Tess Smith-Roberts.

Each week, Still Here posts a picture of a still life from multiple angles. You are then invited it to draw it in any way you like. Open to interpretation, artists have recreated them in a variety of media and styles. Some take a naturalistic approach while others favor flattened compositions.

To show you the creativity inherent in this project, here is one still life an some of the submissions from it.

Here’s the still life from week 16:
