Through this challenge, we were able to enjoy artworks that featured text.

We saw letters that had been used in various ways from past to present.

And through works that conveyed special feelings or expressed text as part of the artwork itself, we had a delightful time imagining a variety of emotions.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge with great artwork.

Then, shall we meet the winners of the challenge?
