Warm-up + Project

The goal for our creative responses to the work and ideas of Christina Kimeze will be expressive emotion and energy. We will explore and navigate this process through color, lines, texture, movement, and layers. 

You may include hints of faces and women within the piece, but it is not required.

A few words to consider as prompts if you wish:

  • resistance

  • joy/exuberance

  • peace

  • affection

  • confusion

  • playfulness

  • carefree

  • anger

  • sorrow


Substrates:

  • Fabric

  • paper

  • cardboard

  • any surface you may wish to explore

Painting/marking materials:

  • oil pastels

  • Stabilo woody's

  • paint sticks

  • paint pens

You may want to warm up with small studies and then move on to a larger piece.

Let's be free and expressive!
