I love the concept of abandoning collaborative art! It's fascinating to observe the evolution of a painting and the journey it takes. I've seen my designs travel up the California coast and eventually end up in frames!
By leaving a collaborative, unfinished piece of art, I invite others to participate and connect with the work. Each individual's contribution weaves a tapestry of shared creativity, reminding us that we are better together.
Supplies needed
(affiliate links for your convenience)
- Coloring books
- Sticks or dowel rods
- Acrylic paint
- Yarn
- Coloring Pencils or markers
- Hole puncher
Directions:
- Choose a beautiful page from a coloring book. I love quotes, but drawings are also very welcome! Ideally, the paper should be of higher quality, as heavier paper is more resistant to travel and handling.
- You can buy dowel rods or find wood sticks during a walk to use as hangers. Whichever you choose, use acrylic paint to add some color to them. Then, use a hole punch to make two holes at the top of the drawing, one near the left edge and the other near the right edge. Use yarn to tie the coloring page to the dowel or stick.
- Add your creativity to the drawing using markers, colored pencils, glitter, pieces of paper or fabric, or whatever you have on hand! When you have completed your part, place the artwork in a public space or give it to someone who will enjoy being part of this project. The idea is to stimulate thought and action through art and love.
- I have a manifesto that I attach to the back of each piece explaining how it works. If you want it, email me at wordrocks.me@gmail.com
