When I was younger I loved playing with paints. I especially loved going to stationary stores with my Mother where we would spend, what seemed like hours looking at all the different colours and types of paper. I was always allowed to pick out a new paper or two so I could write letters to my pen pals. Not much has changed since then, I still love playing with paints and I still adore paper! I had so much fun making this altered canvas . I used bits of mulberry paper and recycled paper. Check out Susiebee Studios for more detail on this project. When doing a project like this remember that there aren’t any rules; just have fun!
Susan you say "when doing a project like this, remember there are not any rules; just have fun". I work with special needs children and use art projects to help them in many ways, but especially their self esteem. I like what you say and know it is true because I tell my students "there are no mistakes, you just go with whatever you do and it works out, looks great and you have fun doing it.
ReplyDeleteI SO agree with you. That is what I always tell people to. It truly is a blessing to be able to just create and just have fun with it.
DeleteI have worked with special needs children and so have a couple of my children. The love that these children can show is so amazing. Thank-you for what you do. xo
