On my block this week (art journaling)
I'm continuing to play with a type of art journaling where I draw and paint groups of simple subjects, each of which represents one of the things on my mind at that moment. Recently, I've done a clothesline, a plant with many leaves, and a swarm of butterflies. For my page today, I drew a variety of buildings each of which represents all the things on my "to do" list and called the page "On my block this week." I really like this type of art journaling and will surely create many more clotheslines, plants and neighborhoods. I'm also trying to come up with other groupings that might work - simple objects that I can sketch, paint and decorate. I'm thinking of a flag pole or line of bunting and a group of postcards in my mailbox. But I'm looking for more ideas. Got any to suggest?
How about a line of flowerpots, some gloves where each finger represents something on your list, stars in the sky, cakes on a cake stand, a bookshelf where the titles of the books are the things on your list.
ReplyDeleteI like this game of suggesting items without having to draw them - how about the back of a crowd (so ne need for faces), balls of yarn, cars, kites, clouds, footsteps
ReplyDeletegarage doors? gates? gable ends of houses (so you are drawing them side on)?
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of flowers, and books, but those are already taken. How about stars? Love your houses.
ReplyDeleteHow about stepping stones through a river....they could even be sized by importance.
ReplyDeleteLove the houses.
How about different fences?
