There are great rewards to be had if you break out of your creative comfort zone, like gaining more confidence and having a more fulfilling and satisfying art practice.
I have a list of people whose work in collage art, particularly vintage collage art, really inspire me. In this post I want to share with you some of the amazing collage art of Connie Rose, and to share a bit about who she is, if you’ve never heard of her. This is part of a series of posts I am d
Exotic Bird Head Series for reproduction by Pier One Imports These Paper Paintings were created for reproduction by Pier One Imports. I experimented with some splattered, scratched, painted backgrounds that would allow the collage technique to be as much the focus as the subject matter. I have been using dripping, white gesso mixed with fluid acrylic, and Derwent InkTense pencils on these backgrounds. If you are interested in owning a signed original from the Exotic Bird Series (which may be available in giclée reproduction nationwide) on 10x12 wood panel, unframed, for $250 email me and I'll ship yours out today! Original artwork makes a great gift, I will sign a dedication on the back if you like.

33 Images, 1993 Sketchbook, 1/33 Mixed Media Art Collage. Original fine art mixed media collage. This collage is 2"x2" from a 1993 collage sketchbook I will be posting all 33 images from the book. Some of these have more drawing in them than what I am doing today. These are some of the first collage sketchbooks I did when I started doing an artwork a day in 1987. Inspired by my friend and fellow artist Edward Fella. #90 1993 Sketchbook Hardcover book, 5 1/2x4"

Our first project this year has been a very progressive, multi step, multi media project that has really evolved as we created! Our first project when we got back from hurricane Harvery was to release some stress with scribbling to music.... Students spread out on the floor and scribbled to the sound of fast and slow music by “The Piano Guys” they love these songs because they recognize them from the radio but it’s all instrumental. The students were instructed to use large arm motions that cross over the body. Any motion that crosses from the right side of the body to the left or vise versa uses both hemispheres of the brain since each side controls one side of the body. It is very relaxing and the kids LOVED it!!!!!! The next class kids painted over thier scribbles with water colors, tempera paint, and India ink. They explored the way different paint resists or does not resist the crayon. You can follow me on instagram for more photos "Natty241" And my facebook page "Mrs. Waggenspack's Art Room" They were allowed to use their hands at the end. We try to use all 5 senses for a while brain experience. We talked about abstract art, Kinetic art, And the experience of art. It is a process and not just a product that we create in art. After each experience we gathered on the floor and talked about how they felt in one word. Students said, “Free, alive, happy, exhilarating, dancing, creative, like a real artist, quiet, excited, open,angry, peaceful,etc” When the paintings were finished the students tore them up into strips! They were so upset at first. When they saw the next step they were so excited. The students glued the strips on a late paper for the collage. This took three 50 minute classes. Then students traced the eyes and nose of the animal they wanted and outlines the eyes, nose, and beaks with India ink. ( pictures at the bottom of blog) this is the resin I use. I paint it on with a brush. This resin must be mixed one to one ratio and it is toxic so you must wear a mask. Do NOT let the children use it. You have to do it for them if you want the ultra shiney eyes effect! Wear a mask and use gloves! You can sprinkle glitter in it too for extra FUN!!! Then they glued the eyes and nose on the collage. The next step was to embellish the face and add details. We used India ink and fan brushes to make fur and feathers. When the entire face was finished I added resin to the eyes to make them shine These are how the eyes and noses look before they cut them out. We used the fan brush for making fur. These are the travers they could use for eyes, noses and beaks

Music teacher, Elexa, of Lexicon of Love hand creates each piece in the shop in Atlanta. "My story isn’t over" is a mixed media original collage and painting on canvas. It is one of the first pieces. Folks at Elexa's art show have opened up about how this inspirational quote has been helpful for their children dealing with other mental disorders from bipolar, autism, Asperger's, and Attention Deficit Disorder. Elexa herself is an advocate for the destigmatizing of mental health and walks annually in the NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) Walks. The original painting shown in the pictures is on canvas and uses sheet music, vintage book pages, acrylic paints, and black sharpie. Prints are packaged in clear sealed wrapping against a hard black card stock with a small artist biography card. Each art piece is personally printed by Elexa on 32 lbs laser print paper and handcut to 8x10 inches for easy matting and framing. Would you like to buy the canvas version of this art print?

Sometimes the art/craft projects overshadow the rest of the blog with their brilliance. And sometimes the text of a blog distracts from the actual project. But in the case of Look Between the Lines…
