Media exploration...


There are no rules in art, so wander with your media. Push a crayon around in a different way. Paint with a twig. This drawing was just a ballpoint pen and it's amazing the different marks you can create with it. Don't settle into conformity or a rut of what you know; you'll often find something you like to add to your repertoire. Most importantly, don't let anything make you feel like you've made a mistake. Mistakes are opportunities turned upside-down.

How about some easy things for kids to use instead of a paint brush? ideas? I'm NON-creative

very cool drawing!

mixed media printmaking was very fun. i made one piece with 3 different methods and then did some finger painting over top. :)
