Each Sunday, I post a new word. Use the word as a starting point for your creativity. Look through your image archives, or create a new photo, painting, drawing, story, poem etc. that you feel fits the theme.

To participate:

• Create a new post on your blog titled “One Word Photo Challenge: (current week’s topic)”
• Include an image or images that you feel fit the theme

Part III: People, Places & Things

I’m going to try mixing up some series here, for those of you who don’t like one or another. I mixed my ideas for the 3 different sections together alphabetically. So here we go, taking us through 2019. Obviously if we all get bored midway through there’s room for flexibility.

The 3 categories that the topics fall into…

People & Creatures

• Animal List A to Z
• Animals in Art and Symbolism
• Animal Symbolism in Art and Culture
• Plants Named After Animals
• Animals in Medieval Art
• Insect Themed Art Ideas (pinterest)

Places & Things

• The History of Found Objects in Art
• 10 Everyday Objects Beautifully Transformed into Works of Art
• Examples of Iconography
• Art Through Time, A Global View (artwork searchable by theme)

Photo Terms

• A Glossary of Photographic Terms

Be creative! You don’t actually have to share a picture of the literal word, find your own meaning. Maybe for ‘ant’ share an image of an antelope, a piece of fruit ants got into, a story, poem, drawing, etc. about an ant. It only has to make sense to you!
