These pictures are late in coming, but I still thought it would be nice to put them up. It was Friday, July 31, and I attended a sort of arts-and-crafts meeting at Ramona's house. First I made this cute one of Yakko with watercolor paints, and then we did a bunch of awesome "blob art"! "Blob art", as you may guess from the name, is a technique where - You fold a piece of paper in half.
- Then open it and put blobs of paint on it (its good to use tempura paint because it's easy to pour).
- Fold the paper in half again and spread the paint with your hands.
- Finally you open it, and voila! An abstract masterpiece!
Now here's a game I'd like to try: Leave a comment saying what these two pictures remind you of, and I'll add some outlines to them in Photoshop using your suggestions. Thanks a bunch!
Aww, Yakko's so cute.
ReplyDeleteThe first one looks like a well-fed gerbil to me, do you see the ears? Hmmm, the second looks like a pitbull, the dog, but looking at it again it sorta looks like a bird or a dragonfly. . .
I love the colors.
Oh boy! My first commenter on my Art Blog! Thanks a bunch Rainy, you're my most loyal reader.
ReplyDeleteI don't quite see a gerbil, but I will try and make it up the best I can. Ditto for the pitbull/bird/dragonfly.
