Update: we have published a gallery with a selection of your outer space artworks. You can view it here.
Whether it’s in new mindbending films, reruns of old-school classics or in the headlines – exciting or tragic – outer space is omnipresent, and more interesting than ever. Art has been taken up to space, inspired science fiction and even space exploration. Let’s take this moment to explore how the wonders of the universe have fed into your creativity.
Space is the theme that will kick off 2015 and, after delighting in your nostalgia artworks and pencil drawings, we’re excited to see where you will go with it. As with all of our projects, you can interpret it any way you like, and use any materials, from pen and ink to needlework or film. If you’d prefer to discuss your favourite space-based artworks, please do so in the comment thread – where we’d also love your suggestions for future Share Your Art themes.
Have you heard about our upcoming exhibitions in London and New York? Find everything you need to know here. It is important to note that we won’t accept more than three submissions per user for each assignment.
This project is open to everyone, but there are a few guidelines you need to follow if you’d like to submit your artwork:
How to share your artwork
Share an image of your artwork via GuardianWitness, by clicking the blue “contribute” button on this page, or via the Android or iPhone app. If you don’t have a Guardian profile, you’ll need to sign up. Then, find the Share Your Art assignment and follow the instructions to share your image. If you have any problems, email us at userhelp@theguardian.com.
We’ll feature some of our favourite submissions at theguardian.com/artanddesign and on Facebook. By sending us your pictures you: a) acknowledge that you have created the pictures or have permission to do so; and b) grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, free licence to publish your pictures as described. Copyright resides with you and you may reuse your pictures however you wish. Read our full terms and conditions here.
Don’t worry if they don’t appear straight away – everything has to be approved before it can be “hung” in our online gallery. Tell us in the comments if there are any improvements we could make to the series.
