I had to research today to find an artist using numbers to make sense of the 64 Million artists January Challenge – An Important date!
Todays task is going to be a complete experiment in my sketchbook using a mixed media approach. I did some research into artists using numbers in art and found Michael Soltis who uses numbers, text and colour to good effect. I want to use some of his ideas to inspire my own number pattern picture.
I’m going to be using some numbers cut from sugar paper, a cut-up news headline and some text from the tv listings as it contains numbers. I am going to try using black lines running in diagonal directions. I am going to use layers of tissue paper to colour the text beneath.
Finally to give eat work some impact I am going to use my inky stick! You could use pastel over the top of the ink to add more texture. Or add acrylic paint.
