As I am sure you've noticed, the internet is riddled with 30-day, 365-day, 52-week challenges that many people in the crafty art world like to use to raise the bar in their given medium.
My daughter loves to draw. She always has, and has been in an oil painting class since she was 4. She is now 9.
To her, painting and drawing have always been obvious forms of art. She hasn't, however, really grasped that photography is my art probably, because admittedly, it isn't always art for me. Often for me, and I would guess for other photography-loving family people, it can be a simple medium with which to record an event. Snapshots if you will.
So Sweetpea and I are going to venture into a 30-Day challenge together. List in hand, she will draw and I will photograph each day according to the subject matter. Since it is a drawing challenge, some subject matters may be difficult for me to photograph i.e a place I'd like to go, so I'll have to get creative. We will start on January 30th and finish up on the last day of our shortest month. I can't wait to embark on this project with her and I hope at the end we both raise the bar just a bit with our art.

This sounds like so much fun! I hope you are going to post both drawings and photos online!!!! :)
Of course we will! SweetPea and I are busy creating material and scheduling posts. I am processing photos right now in PS and SP is on the couch drawing. Buddy is at a sleepover and Dad is driving home from the airport so we're having some quiet girly art time ;)
