Welcome to ProjectEducate!




Welcome to Project Educate on DeviantArt!



Project Educate (lovingly referred to as "PE") was launched in 2008 to promote and support artistic and community growth and knowledge throughout DeviantArt.

PE is a joint venture between DA Community Relations (communityrelations) and the community. During each themed week, the project brings you a new set of articles with information, tips, and tricks about one of the many galleries on DeviantArt. We also regularly host a Community Week where anyone in the community has a chance to submit an article to share!

We pride ourselves on being a fun and educational group, and we are happy that you have chosen to join us on this adventure. :heart: Happy deviating!

Read on to learn more about the different weeks we host!


Art Medium Weeks



We regularly run Art Medium Related weeks and if you feel like you could help out either by co-leading a week or by contributing to one then check out the schedule here to see what's coming up and send us a note with your idea(s)!


Community Weeks



Community Weeks are designed to get the Community involved in Project Educate. We want YOUR articles, whatever the topic, as long as the focus is educational. We also want YOUR leadership, you could apply to lead a Community Week for us! Find out more, here.

Hello all,
I hope you’re all doing well and wish every one of you a happy new year!
This journal is intended to give a few updates on the group and what you can expect from us in 2024. We’re as always open to your feedback, so please do feel free to comment any ideas or requests you have for what you’d like to see from us this year.
,
If you’re reading this and have no idea what @projecteducate is : Project Educate (lovingly referred to as "PE") was launched in 2008 to promote and support artistic and community growth and knowledge throughout DeviantArt. This is done through educational content that covers all artistic mediums (traditional, digital, crafts, photography, film, etc.), meant to help members of the community grow their skills and knowledge thanks to each others’ expertise.
,

A strong focus on challenges

This year, we’ll be focusing on coming up with challenges for the community, that at their core strive to encourage everyone to learn new skills or develop existing skills. These challenges will most likely involve participation prizes or randomized prizes, rather than prizes based on a panel of judges selecting the “best” submissions. The goal here is to encourage everyone to work on their art and have fun with the challenges. Different formats will be explored, but we’ll likely start with month-long challenges, similar to the last ones we did. Again, we’re open to any and all thoughts/suggestions!

Collecting tutorials from the community

Historically, @projecteducate has only published and collected tutorials and content that was specifically made for the group. As of this year, we’ll also be giving the option to our members to submit their educational content to a Gallery folder called “Members’ Tutorials”. We will of course screen the content of the submissions to ensure they meet the quality required for a reader to follow said tutorial/guide.

What about weeks, weekends, tutorials Tuesdays and all prior content formats?

We’re not entirely sure these are compatible with the DeviantArt of 2024, hence why we have left those projects on hiatus for quite some time now. This year, we’ll be testing the waters by posting tutorials through the group on a random basis, there will not be any schedules defined as of now. We will regularly reach out to artists and post journals or polls searching for artists that may be interested in writing tutorials for us.

Tutorial formats

We have historically mostly exclusively published journal tutorials through the group. This year, we’ll test out letting members pitch and submit tutorials in image or video format that can be directly submitted to the group Gallery. The process will be the same here as it was before when members contributed tutorials specifically for the group: your idea will need to be discussed prior and a draft of the tutorial will need to be reviewed, proofread and approved before it is submitted through the group.

Networking opportunities

If over time the group becomes more active and lively, and members feel it would be beneficial, the creation of a Discord server could be an option for members to interact with each other, share tips with each other, talk about ongoing challenges in the group, etc.

Anything else?

If you have questions, thoughts, concerns, ideas, or anything at all to share, please leave a comment on this journal or send the group a note!
Much love,
