Arts and Cats with Syl

[Edit: This blog was meant to post earlier in June but the Kazoo Network kept interfering.]

Hello Kitten Academicians!

It’s Sylvie here again to talk about all things art, well maybe just a few things. So far this year we’ve had two art prompts – Floofy February and Artsy April. February’s prompt had us imagining cats writing love letters and playing in the flowers whereas April was about art and nature. There are still four more planned prompts for this year – June, August, October and December. This month we’ve been taking a mental vacation to the beach as we imagine kittens chasing seagulls, playing in the sand and even surfing during Beach Party 2022. October and December will be seasonally themed so look forward to that!

When I first created these prompts I was still learning digital art so I try to make them friendly to all skill levels as well as fun for all mediums. I quickly learned that drawing everyday is tiring so myself as well as others tend to combine days. With this in mind, the rules for participation are simple - the terms are inspiration for your creation and can be interpreted however you’d like. 

To participate during the short remainder of this month you can create an art piece and post it on Twitter using the hashtag #KABeachParty2022. If you’re not a Twitter user, we also have members of the Discord server that post their creations to the arts and crafts channel. 

Below you’ll find the submissions from Artsy April 2022, but if you would like to view the other creations you can find them here. Thank you so much to everyone who participated - we love to see the creativity within the community! 

Does Beach Party sound familiar? We first had one in 2020!

Hello Kitten Academicians!

It’s Sylvie again and I’m here to tell you about this month's art prompt, Artsy April 2022. This time around, the terms on the prompt were mainly chosen by you, the community. Thank you so much to everyone that gave us suggestions for the prompt, we look forward to getting the community more involved in the future. If you want to participate in this month’s prompt, all you have to do is create with whatever medium you enjoy and post it to Twitter using the hashtag #KAArtsyApril2022. If you’re not a Twitter user, you are also welcome to post your work in the arts-and-crafts channel in Discord. We can’t wait to see all of your creations this month. I hope you’ll join us, even if only one day inspires you. Lastly, don’t forget - have fun, don’t stress and if it stops being fun, take a break! 

Below, you’ll find the submissions from the previous art month, Floofy February. Thank you so much to everyone that participated! If you would like to see all of the other fun and floofy artworks click here.
