Descriptions

Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

  • ### Site name:
  • Arts & Crafts
  • ### Description:
  • Questions and answers about creating arts and craft
  • ### Topics
  • Topics covered by this site would include:
  • - Questions concerning painting, drawing, knitting, crocheting, sawing, wood working, metal working, ...
  • - Digital art (as long as the question is focused about the creative aspect; for problems with software and how to use it, we already have powerusers and linux systems)
  • - Tool usage, upkeep and selection
  • - Material selection and usage
  • - Asking for clarification of a specific tutorial step ("why isn't this working?" or "what do these instructions mean?")
  • - Attributes of different media and how they interact
  • - Own work critiques in a separate category ("I created this logo, how can I improve it?" or "Here's my watercolor painting of my cat sleeping on the sofa. How can I make the composition more interesting?")
  • ### Exclusions
  • - Asking for inspiration ("What craft can I do with ...?").
  • - Broad questions like "where do I start", or requesting a tutorial for a larger project.
  • - Discussion or critique of other people's works
  • - Product and service recommendations ("Where can I get [product]?" or "Where can I find someone who does [service] in [area]?").
  • - Art history and art appreciation related questions.
  • - Identification of artists and artworks.
  • ### Example questions
  • See the [arts & crafts tag in the incubator Q/A](https://proposals.codidact.com/categories/67/tags/7411) where there are several example questions. Please answer those questions or ask additional example questions.
  • ### Categories
  • - Q&A
  • - Work critique
  • - meta
  • ### Overlap
  • - potential overlap with the [home improvement proposal](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288095), e.g. in the areas of wood- and metal working
  • - for digital art there might be a small overlap with powerusers and linux systems, but the focus here on the creative aspect should keep the overlap minimal
  • - digital arts might have some overlap with the photography community
  • (this proposal is modified from https://meta.codidact.com/posts/282538 )

Site Proposal: Arts & Crafts
### Site name: 

Arts & Crafts

### Description: 

Questions and answers about creating arts and craft

### Topics 

Topics covered by this site would include:

- Questions concerning painting, drawing, knitting, crocheting, sawing, woodworking, metalworking, ...
- Digital art (as long as the question is focused about the creative aspect; for problems with software and how to use it, we already have powerusers and linux systems)
- Tool usage, upkeep and selection
- Material selection and usage
- Asking for clarification of a specific tutorial step ("why isn't this working?" or "what do these instructions mean?")
- Attributes of different media and how they interact
- Own work critiques in a separate category ("I created this logo, how can I improve it?" or "Here's my watercolor painting of my cat sleeping on the sofa. How can I make the composition more interesting?") 

### Exclusions

- Asking for inspiration ("What craft can I do with ...?").
- Broad questions like "where do I start", or requesting a tutorial for a larger project.
- Discussion or critique of other people's works
- Product and service recommendations ("Where can I get [product]?" or "Where can I find someone who does [service] in [area]?").
- Art history and art appreciation related questions.
- Identification of artists and artworks.

### Example questions
See the [arts & crafts tag in the incubator Q/A](...) where there are several example questions.  Please answer those questions or ask additional example questions.
