Something from nothing.......

Alrighty then.....on day two of Diane Culhanes class we glued bits of

textured pictures torn from a magazine onto two pieces of cardboard.

On one we just blindly arranged the pieces and then had to find a

picture in the mess...outline it with a heavy lined marker...and then

gesso around the image.  On the second one we could "plan" our

image....selecting pieces and arranging them on the background...

marking around the image....then gesso.

The girl collecting wood was my "found" image and the

shaman was planned.

Day three we had to use red, white, blue, and yellow

paints to mix our own colors and colorize our images.

I'm confessing right now.....I NEED HELP with color

theory!!!! Here are my finished pictures....

I'm really enjoying this class and seeing everyones art has
been wonderful. Only two days left...  :(

 

If a tree falls in the forest........

I'm taking a one week online class with Diane Culhane called

Between Speech & Silence.  I've been looking forward to this

class for over a week now.....excited! Well...of course...my day

ended up wonky and out of whack from the git go! I didn't get

to watch the video and do my assignment until late this afternoon.

Day one is about "taking a line for a walk".....basically a line

drawing....one using only angular shapes...one with a mix of

angular and circular...and one incorporating recognizable

figures. Boy Howdy....it was like being back in grade school!

This one was my angular shapes. After looking at the finished

picture I thought....if a tree falls in the forest and there's no

one around....does it make a sound?

This was my angular/circular drawing....I kinda ended up with

recognizable things....ooops!

And last....the combo with recognizable shapes.
hmmmm....my space cowboy must have been on
my mind.

Then I had the old....I can't post this in the Flickr group...
it's not as good as the other posts. WHY do we do that to
ourselves???? This is just supposed to be FUN!
