Art-a-Day: Inner Child

Thursday, January 6, 2011

Inner Child

I didn't get to the studio today so turned to the computer this evening, photoshopped images of some of my older copper wall works with lots of patina, found 25% cotton business card printer paper in the file drawer and printed 1 page with 4 different cards. I thought to simply relax and make art cards - and then I turned the whole thing over to my inner child, giving her free reign. Here's the result. My job was to poke holes for the needle and keep the cap on the glue stick. The rest is all her.
I've been giving attention to inner child stuff lately focusing around 2 or 3 years old. Must be having my unexpressed Rainbow Brite experience. It was absolutely joyous!

Welcome to Art-a-Day!

Care To Join Us?

The idea is to challenge yourself creatively every day for the month of January. Wherever you do your work, however you do your work, just show up every day and do it. It’s that simple. How to challenge yourself is up to you – but do challenge yourself & share your experiences here on this blog. This is a fun & powerful experience if you allow it.

-Show up.
-Trust the process.
-Share it.

Do I Have to Blog Everyday?

No. Though it's a good thing, a fun thing, and highly encouraged at least now and again. Some participation lets us know you are on board, inspires others and may be used to determine eligibility for inclusion in a show (if we have one).

Do I Make Art Everyday?

Yes. That is the commitment.

Art-a-Day is self-regulating

It is very loose; however diligence is expected because that's what makes it expansive -for you. That is, you commit yourself in whatever fashion you can to "doing" art every day. Add to your piece each day or create something new, it’s up to you. It might mean folding a paper napkin while you are on an airplane flying across the globe because that's all you could do that day - but it was intentional.

Questions?

Still have questions or want to join the challenge? Don't hesitate to ask - you can add a comment to one of my posts.

Joyful creating!
