I forgot to put this up because of all the hassles going on at the moment. I have been bumped for my airline flight which I find very stressful. Anyway, this months theme was 'Spilling Over' and that was what my emotions were doing when I started on this page.
Then my mind just wouldn't stop with everything going on. Shame people couldn't hear all those thoughts spilling over.
I did do some work in my sketchbook, I just didn't get around to blogging about it. Having said that it is pretty basic. Still, it is something I can come back too at a later date.
I thought about people looking in the opposite direction from each other. Having directional dxylesia means I do this on a regular basis. I then wrote a list of words, with small illustrations and thought of the opposite of each.
Finally, the two most opposite things for me are day and night.
This week has shown me just how much I prize my family above all other things. A natural disaster has a way of making you see clearly just what is most important.
Not a lot of input this week jut my sons, William,
and Guy.
I thought I would try some coloured blocks, using stripes, and then write the words I had used in wordle over this. I only had coloured pencils to work with and I think it would have been much more effective if I had used paint. But it is an idea that may translate into a workable design.
We forget just how much we use words to give meaning to images and actions. So with this in minds I quickly wrote a "stream of consciousness" piece about what I Highly Prize. I sketched little illustrations of some of those things, didn't think about spelling, just got it onto paper.
Then I typed this into Wordle and came up with this.
I have always wanted to study art and when I gave up full time teaching wanted to attend University or even take a TAFE (Technical and Further Education) Course. But, when I looked at the cost I just couldn't afford it. Then I came across this challenge on the net.
I grabbed a sketch-book off the shelf, looked up the theme for this month, got a sharp pencil and launched out. But, where to begin? I thought words were what I am most familiar with so it is with words that I will begin.
