Mastodon•ART 🎨 CuratorGood [time of day], fedizens!
We're continuing Bad Art Week today with #BadTreeThursday . Draw your worst trees!
While the prompts are to encourage folks to be creative and draw something new without pressure to 'make it good', you can also submit old art - and anyone from any instance can join in!
If you want a boost from me, be sure to add alt text (https://mastodon.art/@Curator/109279035107793247).
For the viewers, check the tags and give the artists some love! #BadHandMonday #BadEyeTuesday #BadCarWednesday

We have a lot of blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse. Accessibility is important here, and as such, it's good form to include image descriptions (alt text) when we add media to our posts. When someone uses a screenreader to read the timeline, and the screenreader comes to an image with no alt text, it just says 'image' (as far as I know). That's boring, unhelpful, and provides no clue as to what the image actually *is*. This differs slightly depending on how you're using (cont)
