I think of the freedom that some children have when making art. They seem to be so intensely in the moment and making marks with ease.
I think of ways that I could have that type of presence in my art making.
- Easy repetitive marks
- Using “kids” supplies like crayons
- Call it done after just a few marks
- And then get another piece of paper
How do you get into a kid like flow?
One kid like tool that I have been exploring is the bingo dauber. I can make lots of dots really fast. And I can use it to make primitive drawings with broad lines.
Can you think of ways to make art with the presence and joy of a child? I offer you that challenge.
If you love the woods and use the forest as inspiration consider taking the mixed media class, Torn TREES- It is on sale this March for only $50.USD.
