This art challenge was put off over and over again as I was scared to actually draw a self portrait. Finally I forced myself to 'just do it', and surprisingly I actually enjoyed it. I can't say I found any hidden talent but did find a sense of satisfaction as I drew. Below is my first ever self portrait!
I then searched the internet for apps to colour my drawing. I downloaded one on my iphone called Malevich which helped me to add texture and a bit of colour. Then came the fun part. I searched for pop art style apps and discovered PopArtLite for my iphone. Manipulating colour and transparency was exciting and I was able to pick colours that I love and make me feel at peace with.
My next adventure was to create my '6 word story' (check out this site to find out what a 6 word story is). I decided to focus it on my need for a bit of colour, my need for a bit of art adventure and my need for art to work its way into my way of thinking.
Lacklustre Life,
Seeking Adventure,
Found Art.
I then created my book cover using my blog name, my pop art picture and my 6 word story. I created this using www.canva.com. I was really pleased with my final product and am excited to share it with the world. This project has definitely sparked my interest in the 'Art' part of 'The Arts' and I hope to keep that spark going.
