Art Dare Prompt
This challenge has 2 options:
- Use makeup and safe, non-toxic natural materials to create artwork on any part of anyone’s body.
- Create a tattoo design in any media. The design does not need to be drawn on a body, but show us where the tattoo would be located. Get creative with how you show us!
Tips
- Stay safe!!! Do a test strip on the skin first.
- Body makeup and face paint are ideal.
- Only use water based paint.
- Don’t use oil paint.
- Don’t use cadmium or cobalt colors. (always use the hue versions)
- Check the toxicity label on the paint.
