This is the most fun art class ever. Have students do the worst painting possible. Use the ugliest colors they can even imagine and do the worst drawing they can come up with. If you do that, it is like jumping off a bridge. You cannot do art like that unless you really let go. . Just try it. And guess what . There is no ugly color. the only UGLY color is probably a blend of colors trying to be ugly but it won’t be. It will be different. It won’t be possible. You will find that same color you made somewhere in the world
You will probably find the pictures to be interesting. Interesting is good, It is better than the same old thing that you are already skilled at.
It is absolutely freeing to do this. Because you don’t have any pressure mentally to do a good painting . You will be better.
I let my granddaughter come into the studio and paint half the painting. She was thrilled. i did not know what she would do, but the more she saw that I wasn’t judging her, she just splashed the paint all over with abandon. . i finished the painting and sold it and she knows she helped me do it.
playing around can be totally exciting and relaxing at the same time.
