PATHWAYS
I chose this theme because I thought it was a good one to kick off the new year with. With New Year's resolutions still fresh in our minds, we are all facing the opportunity to turn over a new leaf and begin a new journey. What will your journey be? Which path will you take or make?
And now for a little bit of inspiration
'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference'
- The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost
'The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination'.
- Peter Ellyard
Collage
The medium for the Pathways task will be collage. Below is a collection of artists, both past and present that have produced some gorgeous collages. If you wish, click on the links to study some more of their work in detail. I find it quite inspirational.
Let's start with one of the masters - Matisse:
And something from one of my favourite children's author, Lauren Childs. This lady truly rocks when it come to having fun with collage! (I'm sure your kiddos would agree)
And now three of my current favourite artists producing beautiful and inspiring collages. I could stare at their work for hours. Click on the links to check them out (you may just want to have your wallets handy!).
1. Gennine from Gennine's Art Blog.
2. Corid from corid's shop on etsy
3. Jayme McGowan of Roadside Projects
And one more - By Graphitegirl on etsy. These are great fun - a bit of a more upbeat Salvador Dali.
