One way to get your creative juices flowing and quiet the inner critic is to work on several small pieces at once.
Another way to keep the creativity flowing to to layer and respond with minimal marks.
I did these scraps collages with bits and pieces of book pages and part in my online class, Books as ART Materials.
I approach the project with an attitude of playful discovery. I work up about 12 4″ square pieces in layers.
Sometimes a get a few striking collages. But I am always developing my design and composition skills.
Give it a try at the end of the day, gather the bits of waste from your work bench, add scribbles, text or coffee stains and see what happens.
