CLM42 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I was thinking about my first cache and thought that a fun cache would be one where people provided their art in a book that when full would be posted on the net. You could put a little computer with a line through it in the corner if you just want to leave your art but not have it posted. There would likly be an ammo can for casual trading, but for anyone interested, they could have sketch some of the scenery or their cacheing companion. Before I do it, what do you folks think of the idea? Would any of you be up for a cache like this? Quote Link to comment
Trinity's Crew Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 It may take a while to fill the art book. I know I'm not the artistic type but it sounds like it could be fun. Would the art book be separate from the log book? Quote Link to comment
+robert Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Might be kind of fun! It would be similar to single-use cameras being left in caches, just have a separate logbook in there so you can take it out of the cache and scan it for posting on the cache page. Quote Link to comment
lucyandrickie Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Here's one that we did a few years ago. We had a great time with it and got some really good art out of it. Kirkland Sculpture Walk The trick is to get people to actually create something and not just have the logbook turn into a bunch of signatures. Quote Link to comment
bogleman Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Try something like this one Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I've had one similar to this out for years. See History Before Art Class Quote Link to comment
+wandererrob Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 If you were near my area, I'd definitely hit this cache! I love the idea. The ammo can is a good choice as you'd need sturdy waterproof container so the artwork doesn't get damaged by water. Many a logbook have fallen victim to this sad fate. I'd hate to see the same happen to people's sketches. Anyway, cool idea. I like it! Quote Link to comment
+bassqee Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I made this one - Reservoir Art. I ask for doodles rather than full blown art, as everyone can make a doodle and if its pouring down it is a quick to do. Colin Quote Link to comment
+GeoWomyn_SF_CA Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I just LOVE interactive art caches and I have had some success in creating a cache like this. If you visit my Whimsical Wonders cache you can also see people's artworks in the gallery. Since I wanted everyone (especially the non-artists) to draw something I included templates of animals that I got from a craft shop (Michaels). Quote Link to comment
+Bill & Tammy Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Here is a travel bug I put together with a similiar theme, sorry to report it hasn't moved enough to really fulfill it's mission: The Art Collector TB Good luck on your cache, great idea! Quote Link to comment
