week 1 creativity

For this week I did a creative exercise called Mixed media draw on a photo For this exercise, play with adding colorful embellishments on top of a photograph. A mixed media creative exercise involves using a variety of materials and techniques to create an artwork. The idea is to combine different artistic mediums such as paint, collage, ink, fabric, photography, and more into one piece to create something unique and multidimensional. 

Encourages Experimentation

Using multiple mediums pushes you out of your comfort zone. You might start with a paintbrush, but the introduction of collage, fabric, or even objects like buttons or string invites you to explore new textures, forms, and techniques. This helps develop creative flexibility and encourages thinking outside the box.

Enhances Visual Depth

Because you're working with different textures, colors, and materials, the final piece tends to have more visual depth and interest. Your eyes are constantly drawn to new areas of the artwork, making it dynamic and engaging.

Ideal for All Skill Levels

Mixed media doesn’t require advanced skills in any single medium. Beginners can experiment without feeling intimidated, while experienced artists can stretch their creative boundaries further by combining more complex materials and techniques. Everyone can find something exciting in the process.
