Themes have been chosen, ideas are forming and work is beginning. How does one gather ideas. Elaine likes to use Pinterest, setting up a Board specific to the project and then when she finds inspiration in the form of an image, she stores it there. A virtual filing cabinet, if you will. Her next step is to jot down notes of what she specifically likes about each image. Eventually these notes are turned into broad based sketches that she uses to begin her work.
This digital, virtual world offers so many apps and software applications that allow an artist to pursue ideas in so many different ways. It is a fun time!
So you wonder, what are our themes for the new year....drum roll please.
The first is The Sum of Parts. This work will measure 18 inch wide by 40 inches long.
Three 18 inch squares will be similarly related. The three themes, Line Dance, Crossing the Line and Tangled will likely produce work in a series for each artist. Look for these later this year.
