Warm-up + Project

As always I chose Fishman’s artwork based on her visually interesting and colorful paintings. As I researched more I learned that her life's work as an artist has been focused on pharmaceuticals, medicine, and personal experiences.

My interest for us this week is to create a variety of shaped pieces which can be moved around in various combinations to create a final piece.

Please consider experiences from your life that express joy, beauty and peace. Of course you may choose any inspiration that you wish to guide your artmaking this week.

Materials for creating shapes:

  • cardstock               

  • watercolor paper

  • cardboard

  • bristol board
