No photos in this post. Just thoughts.
Tackling a project for 100 days is a significant commitment. I think the important thing is to select something that has room for a lot of experimentation. And Paper Collage certainly has given me room to grow.
What have I learned? A million different things. But the most important is that having ART in my every day life is really good for me. As a person and as an artist. It makes me happy. It fills my time with wonderful ideas and creativity and having that time filled instead of empty makes me happier. I don't have room for political and grumpy clutter thinking.
And I am learning things that are going to make me a better artist. For sure. About faces and color and balance - room to experiment has given me time to make mistakes and to learn from those mistakes. Much better than learning from a book. Or should I say trying to learn from a book. Real hands-on learning is totally different.
So. I am happy that I started this project. I will continue to the end. And I may even do another one - with a new focus. Hmmmmm..... something to think about. barbara
