Inspiration
I’m trying to do more Christian artwork on this channel. It occured to me just to go back to basics, so I thought I could just do some simple artworks that depict the Creation in Genesis for the very first week.
7-Day Challenge.
I am a fan of art challenges. Some art challenges are harder than others because there’s just so much you have to do. I have a few challenges on this site.

Day 1
Light and day and night.
Day 2
The vault of the sky.
Day 3
Sea and land.
Vegetation plants, trees, fruit and seeds.
Day 4
The Sun to light the day and the Moon and stars to light the night.
Day 5
Birds to fly in the sky. Sea creatures to team in the oceans.
Day 6
Land animals, livestock and wild animals. Mankind, male and female to rule the animals and the food and seeds of the green plants and the seas.
Day 7
The Holy day of rest. The sun is shining and all is good. Everything is there. Everything is poised for greatness and to continue to flourish.
Final Thoughts
These few drawings have to be the simplest depiction of the Creation with flat color and limited palette. The idea is that if you reduce your art down to the most minimal strokes, it can still denote what it is supposed to represent.
Symbolism
I think this type of work can be the origin for symbolism where one stroke can symbolize a nation, group, or movement.
