Expressive Arts Carnival Activity No. 3

3 August 2010 | By Paul | | Comments (6)

Welcome to Activity No. 3 of the Expressive Arts Carnival.

On a white or black background, choose two (and only two) colors and make a painting that represents where you have been mentally for the past week or so. Feel free to use digital (e.g., Photoshop, electronic painting program) or analog techniques (e.g., paint, watercolor, colored pencils, markers).

Submissions are due by August 19, 2010. All submissions must be made by e-mail. You can send me an image file preferably with a width greater than or equal to 550 pixels (with or without explanatory text). Or send me a link to a post hosted on your own site (or blog), if you have one. It is important to repeat that nobody is required to have a blog in order to participate. Submissions may be of current or prior work, but all are encouraged to say some words about your process. The Carnival will be published on the afternoon of August 20, 2010.

To submit, e-mail to: paul@mindparts.org.

Please use "EXPRESSIVE ARTS" in the subject heading to help me keep track of submissions. Every submission will receive an acknowledgement of receipt.

The Expressive Arts Carnival posts monthly activities and encourages submissions which will be published on Mind Parts. For more information, see: Expressive Arts Carnival Home.

If you have questions, direct them to me by e-mail or ask in the comments here.

Hi Paul,

I have out-of-town company until the tenth...

this sounds like a great project. If I do this right after all this family time is done it will be a very different thing (thinking about the previous week) than if I did it during more "normal" times. I think it would be good for me to try this a couple of times - once when my sister heads back home and once in a few months.

These suggestions are really helpful to get me focused and give me some direction as I process what's going on around me.

Thanks Kerro and Shen. The idea for the "one week" window is just to help people "stay in the moment" a bit and not think of this as a reflection of life. Glad you both like the suggestions!

So you knew this was a rough week for me, huh? ;-) I'm looking forward to working with this. (I think.)

I emailed my submission, Paul. Thanks for this. It was good to get out of my head for a while and just play with color.
