I LOVE my art class! This is so much fun!
We are doing this thing right now where we take a photograph that we like, put carbon paper under it, then put white construction paper under that. Then trace the images and shadows over the top of it all. The pressure from the tracing will transfer lines through the carbon paper onto the construction paper. With me so far?
When we're done tracing, we then use an exacto knife to cut out parts of the image. We take those pieces and glue them to another sheet of paper. The result is a contrasting, abstract image. The process is very tedious but really cool. I'll post a picture of one I did of a tree.
About Me
- Collette
- I'm a southern gal born and raised, living in the southeast all of my life. That is, until a year ago when I loaded up my kids, hubby, cat, dog, and a whole lot of stuff and hauled them over 2300 miles to Big Sur, CA. I now live dangling over the Pacific Ocean on the far western edge of the continental United States. Sometimes I feel as if I've fallen through the looking glass like Alice. But, I'll say this - Big Sur makes for an awesome Wonderland!
