In the world of art, just about anything can be made creative. From a simple box to a tin can. From a newspaper to a candy wrapper. I’ll share with you some creative tips on creating with those items you find around the house. How to mix them with photographs to create all sorts of things. We all have a creative spot, we just have to learn how to use it.
Artography is a combination of art and photography. I will take photograhs and use them to create other forms of art with everyday items. You ever wonder what to do with that plastic container you get when you buy CDs in bulk? Why not create a collage that can sit on a table. Take a strip of colorful paper, preferably and solid color, but you can string together one or two strips the width of the container and the length so that it will take to go completely around the inside. Once you have measured it, find photos of groups or individuals that you would like to display. You can xerox them or you can use the original photo. It adds a 3 D effect when you cut it out. Cut the image as close as possible and then clue it onto the colored strip. You can layer the photos, create new groupings or add caption bubbles. It's your creationg, do what you feel expresses you. It will be a great conversation piece. It can be handled and you don't have to worry about the photos being damaged. You just wipe the smudges from the container. It's really simple and you can do this in about an hour once you have all the supplies you need. The possibilities are endless depending on how creative you are. Here are some preliminary sketches I've been working on. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
