Scribble Technique

 The Scribble Technique is great to do when you are completely stumped on what to create.  It gets the imagination fired up!
1. Get a piece of paper any size and color.  Also grab any art materials you want to work with.

2. Use a pencil or crayon and with your non-dominate hand scribble on the sheet of paper.  I like to do this with my eyes closed as well.

3. Now look at your scribble and search real good to find and image.  You can rotate the page around and around until you see an image.  I had to flip mine upside down to finally see something.
4. Once you see an image amongst the scribbles then expand on it and further create the image by using all the art materials you enjoy.

October Abstracted

Celebrate October!
1. For this project I used tissue paper, construction paper, a small canvas, and Mod Podge.  You can add as many materials as you like, that's the fun of abstract art!

2. Choose your main focus for October.  I picked a pumpkin, but you are more than welcome to pick any image you desire, such as, a skeleton, witch, moon, black cat, ghost, etc.
3. Draw out your image on construction paper and cut the image out.  I also cut the image more so I can make it more abstract looking for later.

4. Next, brush on the Mod Podge on the blank canvas.
5. Rip up the colors of tissue paper you are interested in using and start placing them on the canvas on top of the Mod Podge.

6. Keep adding the tissue paper until you are satisfied with the look of it.

7. Now add the main image and place it in a manner that you are happy with and still looks abstract.

8. Add more tissue paper and any extra materials you would love to work with, keep going until you love it!
