This is week 0 of #Whisper! If any of you know of the game Telephone, this is a take on that. The beauty of Whisper is that it has no winners, and the excitement of it comes from the creative interpretations.
Steemians, we've got a new trail, and it's Whisper Gallery II!
Whisper Gallery II Seed
In good #whisper fashion, we're starting Whisper Gallery II with the seed which was the ending piece from Whisper Gallery I by @dunsky.
In Whisper Gallery I, this piece by @dunsky was inspired by @storybird's cassette tape art (below).
The artistic innovation that occurred during Whisper Gallery I is absolutely beautiful. It proves that with different artists, we can take one idea and push it into several others with dramatically different inspiration fueling it.
Take a look at Whisper Gallery I Completed!
What is Whisper?
A chain of artistic creations that are each initiated by a seed idea/art piece (one piece of artwork inspires the next piece, and so on). Each week we will have a featured artist who will create a piece that is inspired by the piece from the week before.
The beauty of this trail is seeing this creative interpretation and reinvention take place on a high level.
The Trail
To begin NEXT WEEK!
Helping Build an Art Community
We want to collectively build an art community. This is a great way to connect us, support each other through up-votes, comments, and follows. Steemit can be a slow-growing platform for creatives starting out, and the future goal is to roll this into a community event where people can be perpetually submitting to the chain.
With Whisper Gallery I now behind us, I have found so much gratification in the ability to bring more eyes to artists as well as create a showcase beyond the contest level. Art is often abstract to people, and I think when we're able to tell a collective story in our own styles, it begins to unravel that mystery for some. If our goal is to make more art, more appreciators of art, more supporters of the art community, and more people happy in general, I think we've succeeded. More to come!
Steemians, I encourage everyone to re-steem this post to gain more eyes on the project and allow the artists to get more rewards for their high-quality work. Every comment, upvote, resteem, and follow helps!
Support
Thanks to several community members for the support. I greatly respect and appreciate @sndbox for allowing this to be pushed forward and succeed in the way it did.
Steemians, please let me know what you think of Whisper Gallery I so far in the comments below!
Looking forward to my own participation in this chain and I'm very curious to see what the first week will bring us! <3
Good luck @manouche!
so glad you will be a part of this really fun project @soyrosa, I look forward to seeing your work!
Thanks @natureofbeing! Really excited! :D
Thanks @soyrosa! Bit nervous and excited. Will put the post up soon!
Yes, I might be nervous too! Being surrounded by so many talented artists makes a person humble!
@soyrosa, no need to be nervous! You just are doing what you have been doing this whole time! It's exciting :)
@mrblinddraw oh this is really cool with this telephone whisper game....I was just browsing Steemit and stumbled into your game for the creatives! Looking forward to seeing other fellow creatives' artworks besides my own! Upvote for cool idea and support your post. Come check out my posts if you have time and always welcoming comments as well. Cheers~
@miss.kat thank you so much for your kind words. I love that you came by and said how much you like the chain. It's the artists that make it all happen!
@mrblinddraw agreed so many talented artists and it's great to be able to introduce them in such creative ways! I'm starting to post artwork slowly on my feed as well :)
Love the gallery you created and looking forward to seeing round II!
Drumroll! @natureofbeing
This looks like an interesting project but I'm hesistant to follow along for one reason in particular.
Have you considered dropping the reference to "chinese whispers" and just saying the gallery idea is based on the game "telephone"? Because the term is UK in origin, it seems like it might have a problematic/potentially racist background. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers
Understand where you're coming from! Has been updated @justatouchfey
Thank you! :D
Super excited to be on this whisper!
You made the most awesome piece! @manouche!
Terrific! Gallery 1 is really impressive. Yes, art. We have steemstem and geopolis--I love both of those, but without art--well, where's the soul?
I'll be following you, and your artists.
Agreed @agmoore, art has the soul, expression, culture, and commentary we need!
Im am so grateful to be part of the next project, im so excited, i feel like saving the best for last hehe. Hope im able to perform well when my time has come
@errymil, you're going to do something amazing :) Looking forward.
