Art Dare Prompt

This challenge has 2 options:

  1. Use makeup and safe, non-toxic natural materials to create artwork on any part of anyone’s body.
  2. 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.
