Green juice power has started to sparkle :)

Finally the layers of paint are starting to form and I'm actually enjoying myself. I think I'm getting somewhere. Would this have anything to do with green juice power? :)

I still want to at a few more layers of texture and marking making to areas of the canvas.

But

I'm ready to create more :) x

Green Juice Power

I've decided to join the power of green juice. So far I'm enjoying the interesting tastes which I have created. Kris Carr has inspired me to go green and blend. Since I love the colour of green why not make it part of my daily diet. Hopefully it will energize some creative spark :)

Where to next ???

Messy, uneven and tired - processes, themes and techniques, AAArrrrhhhhh I continue to stare onto the surface of a sad canvas or paper, design or painting. I'm still determined to fight my way through what feels like a jungle of vines. I must win this battle. I hate what I am producing but hopefully will break this circle of struggle.

Should I give up on what I felt was a style or process which I enjoyed to create? What was that? Should I instead, follow what feels like, a successful teaching of art? The outcomes that are produced from within my classroom are much more exciting. I am currently working on a project with year 7 which is inspired by Urban Decay, they are beginning to look great. I plan on teaching a different technique for each surface layer. Mono-print designs,stenciling and graffiti will be the first few processes. My students are enjoying the freedom and mess we are making.

Maybe a teacher to inspire ideas is just as rewarding, however I so do desire to be inspired by my own work.

I will continue to push through this.

Moving on slowly

Finally finished and pleased. Keep going!

Struggling

I'm lost! What am I trying to create? Abstracts? Landscapes? The portrait of a lost soul? I just keep telling myself to keep making, creating and enjoying.

Hopefully something will be unleashed as I work through this frustrating process.

Making the Big Bad Wolf for world book day.

Its that time of year again when I can create something fun for my son. Last year I made the Tiger Who Came For Tea and this year was inspire by the Three Little Pigs, which has been my sons favourite story for the last few weeks.

I used similar techniques and materials as last year to create the wolf head and tail. Foam is easy to cut and light to wear. This is also a fast and effective way to create large scale 3D forms.
