It is for me to keep in touch with my students and all others who create art and/or enjoy art....any medium.

It is for all of us to include our thoughts, ideas, happenings, and show our artwork. Just e-mail me those ideas and photos and I will post them to this blog. Please do !!! It will make it a group blog.

Book Review:
The Artist's Muse...unlock the door to your creativity....by Betsy Dillard Stroud.

I forgot to include this review when I spoke about Artist Block. 
This book is wonderful. It is a book and card kit. It has a nice book and 3 sets of cards (you can see them on the left hand side of the open book photo). The cards are labeled: Circles of Growth, Windows of Opportunity and Doors of Awareness. The idea is to choose one card from each (or just one or two cards) and create from them.
Example:
Circles of Growth.............."Do a painting using only Cadmium Orange and a tube neutral".
Windows of Opportunity..."Do a painting using 100 brushstrokes only".
Doors of Awareness...."Paint a creative self-portrait by describing aspects of yourself in symbols. Use at least 3 things that are characteristic of you".
Have fun and may those artist blocks disappear.
