I am really trying to keep up with the two concurrent online courses that I am doing. To the extent that I have given up doing any other creative work while I endeavour to stay up to date and finish each day's task. Of course, I'm on a hiding-to-nothing as we are going away this evening and although I will have internet access we are supposed to be on holiday.
I am really enjoying the Creativity Bootcamp although using one medium is very restricting. I am sticking with it for a little while longer but I feel that next week there will be an outburst of mixed media.
Day 3
Day 3 was about disarming the creative buzzkills. There are no new thoughts in my journaling, but it is very releasing to set the thoughts down and no longer allow them to crowd my mind.
Day 3's random word prompt was PROCESS
I did give in slightly here over the one medium. I stamped the cogs using gesso, put a light wash of watercolour over them when they were dry, and then sprayed water colour over some cogs as masks. I'm still not sure whether it is finished.
Day 4
We were asked to take random photographs and then analyse what we had taken.
Day 4's random word prompt was GARISH
Day 5
Today has been about music and whether I take refuge in it.
Today's random word prompt was DEPTH
I decided that as the day 4 journaling had highlighted my love of form and line I would use that to influence this artwork.
I am taking my sketchbook with me and I have prepped all the pages for the next 4 days so that I can do the journaling each day and think about the artwork and then have a catchup day on Tuesday ~ in between doing the washing!
And the second online activity: Shimelle's Beyond Blogging. Well, you've just finished reading the homework. Thanks for popping by.
