#projecteducate's third Community Week

is right around the corner. We'll be kicking off September 24th and we need you on board!

What is Community Week?

The majority of Project Educate is run by the CVs. But there's only a few of them and a lot of us—which is why we're asking you, now, to contribute. Know about a specialized art form or technique? Got some advice on becoming well-known for positivity? Want to share your sweet critique skills? We want it all, and we want it now.



In the past, people have contributed in all kinds of ways. The following are just some suggestions to get your thoughts going!

:bulletred: Write a blog:
There are tons of options for a blog. Art features with an explanation of the technique or style showcased; tutorials on creating a certain effect (with examples); critiques and how to critique; interacting; dA for dummies—if you have an idea that will make being on this website a more positive experience, tell us all about it!

:bulletred: Host a chat:
Chats are a great place to hold real time discussions. Answer questions, offer feedback in a group setting; there are a ton of things you can do in chat. If you're not comfortable writing a blog or you want to take advantage of some readily available opinions, this is the way to go.

:bulletred: Hold a contest:
If you have an idea for a contest that has a strong educational element—for instance, introducing people to the rule of thirds by having them take square flower macros—send it in!


Other ideas are also welcome: we can't think of everything! Note #projecteducate with your idea, a short outline of what you're planning to do with it, and your preferred day/time. :eager:

Questions/comments? Note the group or leave them here. :dummy:

did you really write this? This doesn't seem your style . . . doesn't have your usual finesse.

Great idea, though.

I have usual finesse? O:

Different voice for news articles where people should get involved, actually. ;p

Mm...really for this one, it's about what you want to share. Could be art, interviews, whatever...as long as there's an educational element.

A while back I created this group :iconcritiquecommunity:. We're committed to encouraging deviants to participate in the community and getting critique by giving them. We have features for our best critics every month, have critique groups, and we're even planning a critique contest.

We'd love to work with you guys if you have any ideas on how we could help/participate.

Hmmm. I could think of about five different things--featured chat with young critics discussing how they got comfortable with it; live critique chat; critique blog...what kind of bandwidth do you guys have? You should definitely drop us a note. :)

I'm around. Maybe we could do a chat about publishing, similar to my thread in the forums. Of course, with the understanding that I don't know everything, I can just offer practical advice based on my experience.
