Bring on Spring ArtWorx Project

Everyone is tired of snow and being cold. 
No big suprise as it is the end of February and we've had below freezing temperatures.

One of our teachers picked the theme of "Pink" for this week and this project I originally found on Pinterest and found the easy directions at Alphamom seemed to be just what we all needed to Think Pink - and Spring!  Everyone could do this project with simple one-step directions.

I cut these down to make them easier for small hands to use them. 

We also used a green bottle with the Mountain Dew label.  

The bottoms of the green ones made the best flowers, so the students waited and shared them.

Blue

My blue is relaxing. I love birds, eggs and wings. Children. Faces, and eyes. Skies with moons. Strong horizontal lines and strong vertical lines. Fabric with weird texture in it. I'm noticing these in all my color collages.

Anahata Katkin (at bottom of page) calls this a "symbolic alphabet". A visual signature that you are drawn to and use regularly as an artist, and thus it defines you and your style. This is really interesting to me while I revisit some of the things I'm doing in my artwork, what I like, what I'm using, what skills I want to improve on.
