The Arlington Center for the Arts collage class started last night making cards.
 |
| Barbara: blues and yellows this term |
They each got a card, a page from an old children's mystery, and 30 minutes.
We talked briefly about the steps involved: how to get past the page to the words that moved you; how to step from there to a ground that supported your text.
 |
| My class sample |
What felt odd quickly morphed into delight in their talented hands.
 | |||
| Nancy: complex found imagery |
An assignment that felt odd quickly transformed to intriguing in their capable hands.
 |
| Caroline: wolves, dense surface, imbedded questions |
Each card reflected the personality its maker.
 |
| Judy: ocean colors, vistas |
The goal: relax, work fast, leap past the tired monkey brain to joy.
 |
| Beth: rich colors, warm heart |
I think it worked.
 |
| Deborah: direct and yet unexpected |
"Is this what the Valentine's workshop will like?"
Yes, but with lots of pink and red, hearts and flowers.
 |
| Kathy: tiny window, rich view |
These folks are a joy. They support each other. They work hard.
 |
| Appreciating the results |
Wonderful, creative women.
So much talent, such different voices.
One more week together. The term has flown by.
