We are naturally geared (and conditioned) to use the end of something as an opportunity to reflect on where we've been, what we've done and/or how we might change.As an artist, I love the act of reflection and do it circularly and effortlessly throughout all phases of the creative process - not just at the end. Artists have to think about and understand their decisions in order to move forward. Focus + reflection = meaningful action. Without it, you sit in place.
We have been hard at work on our mixed media collages. The energy involved is like watching a tornado of materials and ideas flying around in circles until something settles into place. My students are getting close to being done and so far, I'm pleased with the results!These 7 x 7 inch mixed media works are their non-representational self portraits. I will post more when other students finish.
