Unlocking Creativity: Silhouette Art Fun for Mindful Exploration! Learn Art Techniques for Beginners

Today’s 64 Million Artist challenge was scuppered as there was no Sun! The original challenge was to make art from shadows. 

In this video I will show you how to create an abstract pattern from silhouette cut outs of everyday objects. Art isn’t always about the final piece sometimes it’s good to explore mark making and getting your hands dirty in your materials. 

This exercise is a fun way to warm up your artistic mojo. A way to let your mind wander and to experiment with colour and form. I’m using a pair of scissors, a bull dog clip and a novelty pen I purchased from Disneyland Europe.

I’m looking for a mindful way to enjoy the process and stop worrying about the end result. Today you are free to make a mess, spoil a piece of paper but also have fun in the process.
