reconnecting to truth and love

In this next section we will affirm our values, what we promise to ourselves and reflect that in our piece as we add the next layers.
We will: 
infuse our work with the seeds needed to grow.
use various mixed media techniques to add multiple layers.
revisit our affirmations and infuse their energy into our work.
reflect on how we are doing the work needed to create the beauty and love we desire. 
These foundational layers will set the tone and energy for the entire piece, and honor the importance of taking the time and space needed to work on "the basics" that so easily get lost in the shuffle of life.

layering your creation

design as metaphor

where contrast is a good thing. 

layering your creation

In this next section, we will leverage the eight design principles and create multiple layers in our work. 
We will: 
move through each principle, discuss the relationship it has to our lives (for example how contrast shows up in experiences we have).
create an example of each principle in our work (paint, collage, draw, etc.).
discuss the ways the principles show up in our lives through experiences, relationships with ourselves and others.
reflect in our journal.
This section takes the most time as each principle must be considered in its fullest from a creative and a curiosity perspective. Taking the time to sit with these is a gift to yourself, and the energy you bring to this gift will be present in the work you are creating.
