CST 2023: Members Exhibition Jane Dunnewold 2023-12-21 | The diversity of our CST community was always understood but never quantified until the inaugural exhibition in the summer of 2020. As was true then, this year we have even more tangible evidence of the many distinctive talents of participants, including quilting and stitching, along with the use of clay, and all varieties of mixed media, drawing and digital work.Some pieces tell stories we immediately grasp. Others allude to stories we will never fully know or understand. This exhibition also includes pieces that are beautiful in color or form, and that is the story each tells. There is something for everyone, because good work invites the viewer to engage, bringing his or her own version of the story into the equation.I am grateful for each of you who took time to prepare photographs for us. It is important to share that this is an inclusive exhibition and anyone who submitted work was included. Jurying serves a purpose, but within the Creative Strength Training community it is para- mount that all feel welcomed as part of this event. I hope you are proud of the work you shared and that this is an inspiration to keep working. I hope those of you who chose not to enter this time around will do so in the future! Creating art is first and foremost an experiential gift to the maker, but sharing it brings another sort of sweet joy that everyone should have the chance to experience!Many thanks to K Wayne Harms for his attention to detail in designing a beautiful publication for you to enjoy. Without Wayne, and Zenna James – who oversees it all – this project would never come to fruition.------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communityLearn more about CST: janedunnewold.com/cstonlineView the catalogue on Issuu: issuu.com/janedunnewold/docs/cst_2023_exhibition_issuuSubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Add Real Texture to Your Work with Sand Jane Dunnewold 2023-09-27 | Printing with Sand!This tutorial was filmed as part of Screen Club in May 2023. Screen Club has been discontinued, but stay tuned for a new project to be announced soon.Join my newsletter for updates: janedunnewold.com/communityOne of the coolest ways to add texture to your work with a Thermofax screen. Make sure you have the supplies I recommend because they can make or break your results.🎨 Assemble these supplies:✨ Thermofax & squeegee✨ Gel medium – gloss or matte is ok✨ Fabric or paper substrate✨ Sand: most of the sand on an actual beach might be grains that are slightly too large to work for this, but you can try it. I buy sand in colors at craft stores and also online. ✨ Parchment paper or other paper to put under the substrate, so you can easily put the leftover sand back in the container!✨ Krylon clear acrylic “no odor” sprayFollow these steps:1. Make sure the fabric (or paper) is ironed and smooth.2. Position the screen where you would like to print and squeegee gel medium through it. 3. Make sure you use enough gel medium or the print could fail. I suggest three or four passes of the squeegee to make sure you deposit enough medium on the substrate.4. Pour sand onto the WET gel medium and leave it there until it dries. (To be on the safe side give this at least an hour.)CLEAN YOUR TOOLS!After the gel dries, gently lift the substrate and shake/pour the unattached sand onto the parchment paper, so you can put it back into the container it came from.The sand will not be “stable” unless you seal it. Do this by spraying it with the Krylon Low Odor spray. You can use quite a bit and it won’t discolor or alter the fabric. Allow it to dry and you are done!------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join my newsletter: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Studying and Abstracting Form Jane Dunnewold 2023-08-22 | Form is sometimes confused with shape. When we studied shape, we recognized that it’s defined by being two dimensional. Form is three-dimensional, which means it has substance and volume. So a form can be a shape, but a shape is not a form.Form is not defined by the materials that are used. Any material that can be used to create a three-dimensional object is fair game. I once saw a huge “form” that was a six feet wide, made of bras that had been stitched together strap to strap, and then rolled into a ball!Remember, play is open-ended. For fun. You may not have an end goal for this, but it is exactly the kind of thing that can spur thinking and ideas that are worth pursuing and purposeful.Using a blown up ballon as the initial form, tear up thin strips of fabric - a recycled cotton shirt, for example. Soak the strips in a mixture of matte medium and water. Make the solution approximately 75% matte medium and 25% water. Wrap the strips around the ballon, and create a bowl or vessel shape. Allow the medium to dry and then pop the ballon to remove it. What else could you do to further embellish the form? Another version of this would be to follow the same process with strips of newsprint or junk mailers. Change materials, and now you are making a version of paper mache’!Create a dimensional shape by sewing it on the sewing machine. Leave the seams on the outside. Use fabric or use paper. Stuff it, or stiffen it. Spackle it? What next?------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
CST 2023 Members Self-Portrait Exhibition Jane Dunnewold 2023-08-16 | We are very fond of our Creative Strength Training members’ shows. Offering inclusive exhibitions every year – two of them – has become an important part of how we share with each other. I am always proud of the entries and pleased that so many members make work to submit.This year we departed from our usual “open” call for work and chose to focus on the self-portrait. Our monthly art spotlight is on collage for 2023, and the first month’s set of self-portrait collages were quirky, entertaining, sobering and even profound. We were excited.Some of the self-portraits you see here are from that first March prompt, and others have been created specifically for the show. Take time to study them carefully, as there are many clues embedded in these pieces. It’s fun to observe and discover new aspects of people we have met, as well as to be inspired by the diversity of the creations. The materials range from embroidery and quilting to mixed media works on paper, photographs, and digital collage.We hope you will be inspired and are thrilled to share this work with you.------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communityLearn about Creative Strength Training: janedunnewold.com/cstonlineSubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Guest Creative: Katie Pasquini Masopust Jane Dunnewold 2023-07-27 | From the Creative Strength Training archive -- an inspiring interview with Katie Pasquini Masopust! For nearly 30 years Katie Pasquini Masopust has produced high quality contemporary art quilts that have been coveted and collected by a broad range of admirers. From her early beginnings as a painter dabbling in traditional quilt making, her work has evolved from structured Mandalas and mind-blowing dimensional pieces to very painterly landscapes and abstracts executed with the finest fabrics and most creative stitching techniques.Katie’s easy, energetic manner has made her a very popular teacher and lecturer. When not in residence at her studio in Fortuna, CA she travels the world presenting her contemporary quilting theories and techniques to classes; not only in North America, but in Europe, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand. Awards and accolades have been numerous for Katie, culminating with her 2005 induction into a very select group of art quilt professionals who have earned the Silver Star Award presented by Houston Quilt Festival.Katie's website: http://www.katiepm.com------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Cross-Training: Make Stronger Artwork Using the Interplay of Elements Jane Dunnewold 2023-07-11 | In this presentation I offer examples of how artists combine elements of abstraction successfully. Cross-Training Activity: ONE PIECE: SIX INTERPRETATIONSOf course you can do this as many times as you like, or have time to complete, but just doing it once should be fun, and hopefully informative.Follow These Steps:Choose two or three elements to use together. You are not limited to these, but it will be easier if you aren’t trying to work with eight at once! For example you could choose shape, line, and color.Create a composition with the elements, using papers. It can be any size, but try to keep it manageable since you will be completing five more variations on the theme, and if they are big, it could get overwhelmingly time-consuming. This is especially true for those of you who are on a personal track with work. You don’t want to be so distracted by this that you don’t have time for your personal stuff.I don’t know why the GPS admonishment, “Proceed to the route” popped into my head right now, but that’s what comes next! Proceed to create five more compositions – each one based on the original, and each one taking “a new route” to the destination!NOTE: Remember, it’s all about interpretation. The flavor/balance/elements of the first piece becomes your guide, but what happens next will (with any luck) shift and change as you move through your series.Here are a few ideas:Create the composition in completely different papers. OR a mix of papers and cloth. Use a glue stick or fusible web to put it all together. Interpret the composition in a wet medium, like paint.Interpret the composition in colored pencil, with Inktense blocks, or a combination of materials. Use fabric for part of the composition and then add India ink.Use stitch and/or fused fabric to create the composition.See what happens if you change out or add patterns to the composition – especially if all components were flat colors, without pattern before.Recreate the composition as a set of layers on a gel plate, for those of you who are familiar with how to do that.You will probably have your own ideas about the way to proceed with the exercise and whatever you think of is good. I can hardly wait to see what sorts of other creative ideas you come up with, that would never have occurred to me.Most of all, have some fun, suspend judgment, follow your heart. That’s the magic recipe for a joyful, good time.------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Backgrounds and Textures: Inkjet Transfers on the Gel Plate! Jane Dunnewold 2023-06-26 | INKJET TRANSFERSHere’s great news: you can transfer an inkjet image to paper or fabric with the gel plate! Unfortunately, this only works with black and white pages, and not with color, but it’s a super way to get detail, and there are other ways to add color later.THE PAPER IS CRITICAL. Standard printer paper doesn’t work as well as a paper with a shiny coating, but DO NOT use photo paper. Apparently some folks have tried it and couldn’t get it off the plate. I use Office Max brand double-sided “business” paper and the good news is that since it is coated on both sides, I can use it twice.go.janedunnewold.com/inkjetpaperThe process is straightforward: Print an image or text on the inkjet printer. For some reason, color prints don’t print in color, so don’t waste the ink. Choose black and white, even if the image is in color.Use a clean, dry plate. Put the print ink side down against the plate and rub it all over the ensure contact. Leave it there for at least 30 minutes. Longer won’t hurt, but also won’t help.When the time has elapsed, peel the copy away from the plate. The ink will have deposited on the surface.In order to transfer the image to paper or fabric, add a thin layer of paint or gel medium on top of the ink image. Immediately position the paper or fabric over the wet paint, and smooth to make contact. Leave the paper or fabric on the plate several minutes and peel up a corner. If some of the paint or image isn’t transferring, pat the corner down and wait for a few more minutes. If you are printing onto fabric it will be best to wait until the fabric is actually dry. It won’t stick to the plate, and you will get a complete print that way.There may be a ghost print of the inkjet image on the plate after you’ve pulled the image, but it can be washed off with a little warm water.TIP: I iron freezer paper to the back of the fabric I am printing in order to stabilize it. The freezer paper makes it a lot easier to get the fabric onto the plate evenly and can be peeled off later, and re-used.Learn more about my Backgrounds and Textures online class:janedunnewold.com/backgrounds-textures-workshop----------------------------------------------------- Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
How Using Value Can Make Your Abstract Work Stronger Jane Dunnewold 2023-06-20 | Value is the attribute of lightness or darkness of a color. Any color can be lightened by adding white, creating a tint. Any color can be darkened by adding black, creating a shade. Color can also be shifted by adding gray, creating a tone. There are an infinite number of colors of gray.A gray scale is a common device used to determine value. Painting a range of grays from white to black on card stock introduces you to the range of gray colors that are possible, and helps you to discern value more easily when you look at fabrics or artwork. Paint a gray scale bar in order to see the range for yourself, and you will also have created a useful tool, for comparing the values of colors later.Sometimes it’s hard to tease apart analyzing the colors in a painting or other piece of artwork, and analyzing the values. Hopefully this video will help you begin to discern how color is used – and when value is part of the equation.------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Cross-Training: Abstraction and Emotion Jane Dunnewold 2023-06-12 | From the Creative Strength Training archives:One definition of abstraction is the morphing of an object to the limits of its being recognizable. This category of abstraction works with something tangible – the object itself.A less tangible approach to abstraction is represented by the work of Wassily Kandinsky and his cohort. Kandinsky was considered the father of abstraction until Hilma af Klimt came along and unseated him. (Her work preceded his.) Kandinsky spent his entire lifetime discerning a personal language of color, line, and shape. If you didn’t know this about him, you would think his paintings were non-representational because they appear to be a collection of elements without meaning. But to him, and to viewers who have studied him, the elements tell a story, are imbued with meaning, and tie directly back to the book he authored, Concerning the Spiritual in Art.Each of us has the opportunity and ability to create a visual language of elements for ourselves. In the past two months we’ve explored lines and marks. Those elements are very different from each other based on the tools that were used to make them. They also differ from each other based on the mood the artist was in when she made them! In March and April the mood was probably random. There wasn’t anything intentional about it. This month, however, I invite you to pursue mark-making as an exploration of emotion.Getting Started1. Use any tool that appeals to you: pen, brushes, pencil, etc.2. Music may be helpful, but sets its own tone. Working in silence might be better.3. Portray the following emotions. Consider doing a whole page on each one, as opposed to a single mark.Joy, Frustration, Anger, Sadness, Giddiness, Calm, ConfusionWhen you finish the exercise, label each page on the back. Consider showing the drawings to someone you know and see if they can guess what emotion you were portraying! There isn’t any right or wrong answer. Only observation which will lead to more food for thought.------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Cross-Training: Exploring Mark-Making Jane Dunnewold 2023-06-05 | From the Creative Strength Training archives!Marks are employed by artists in many genres and are one of the universal elements artists employ to add interest and meaning to their work.Expand your repertoire of marks by playing and exploring. In other words: research! The focus is on making marks within the context of abstraction, but expanding how you think about mark-making and the role it plays, no matter what your art work looks like, adds to your knowledge base and builds your visual vocabulary.Marks are universal, and that means mediums are universal, too. No matter how you usually work, throw yourself open to trying on lots of new things for size. Who knows how playtime with marks will infuse or shift the energy in the work you make right now. Here are a few suggestions to kick things off:• Consider making marks in more than one medium. Stitch, chop up fabric with fusible on the back and fuse it back together. Use a China marker, or India ink, or a fine line marker.• Try a variety of backgrounds. Paper, cloth, old book pages.• Make marks that can be collaged. Torn paper that’s been painted. Torn paper that is plain. Then ask: what else?Learn more about Creative Strength Training:janedunnewold.com/cstonline------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.

Inspired By Archetypes: A Creative Strength Training Virtual Exhibition Jane Dunnewold 2023-02-07 | Archetypes are universal patterns of behavior that all human beings share. We recognize archetypes in other people, and in ourselves, when we refer to someone as a princess, a knight in shining armor, a gambler, or an earth mother. There are hundreds of archetypal patterns and they are evolving as human beings evolve. Artists are inspired by archetypes in two ways. First, an artist may work with an archetype as a subject of the artwork created. Writers and filmmakers use archetypal patterns when they develop characters for stories and films. Artists craft visual stories by using archetypes as their subjects or theme. You will find many examples of this approach to using archetypes as symbolic content in the pieces featured in this exhibition.Learn more about Creative Strength Training: janedunnewold.samcart.com/products/cst2023-returning-membersLearn more about archetypes: janedunnewold.com/resources/archetypes------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.

An Interview with Artist Susie Monday! Jane Dunnewold 2022-11-05 | About Susie:Artist, maker, teacher, author, head cook and bottlewasher.The art I make is the result of a life-long love of pattern, texture and color. How I teach is a skill honed by experience (I started teaching creative arts to younger kids when I was 12). After earning a B.A. in Studio Arts from Trinity University, I helped lead an internationally recognized educational foundation, designed curriculum exhibits for schools and other institutions, wrote and edited for a major daily newspaper, opened the San Antonio Children's Museum and then, a couple of decades ago, took the scary but essential (for me) leap to become a full time artist and art teacher.Visit her website: http://susiemonday.com------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.

Pure vs. Mixed Fiber Reactive Dyes: Testing to Discover Hidden Color! Jane Dunnewold 2022-07-29 | Fiber reactive MX dyes comes in a myriad of colors. What isn’t always understood is that there are only thirteen or fourteen pure dyes, and all the other colors are mixed from those pure dyes. It’s important to know this because it can affect the way fabric dyes, especially if you use a low water immersion approach to dyeing, where the amount of dye solution is very limited. In this video I’ll introduce you to the pure dyes that are used to mix all the other colors, and show you how to do a “sprinkle test” in order to reveal the colors hidden in a mixed dye.Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.

Making Your Mark, By Making Your Brush Jane Dunnewold 2022-03-24 | When we say, “She really put her mark on that” we aren’t always talking about artists. People “make their mark” in dozens of unique and individual ways. Sometimes it’s a new twist on an old recipe. Sometimes it’s a wall in the living room painted an unexpected color. Take a minute to reflect on how you have left your mark on something in the past. If nothing comes to mind immediately, maybe this is an area that would benefit from focusing with an eye to the future. It’s never too late to step out boldly and stamp your personal mark on something in the world around you.------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
An Introduction to Automatic Drawing Jane Dunnewold 2022-03-03 | In this final installment of the Drawing as an Embodied Practice series, we examine automatic drawing, also known as surrealist automatism. This technique was developed in the early 20th century as a way for artists to explore their subconscious mind and tap into a heightened state of creativity. It is still used today as a method for relaxing the mind and creating innovative, interesting artwork.Check out some beautiful examples here:pinterest.com/creativestrengthcollective/surrealist-automatism-automatic-drawingVisit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/CreativeStrengthCollectiveINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/creativestrengthcollectiveFeel free to email me at zenna@janedunnewold.com.
Confidence: Having Faith in Yourself Jane Dunnewold 2022-02-26 | Confidence in your creative abilities is strengthened when you try something new and feel good about the outcome. Confidence is strengthened over time with consistent practice, but many of us lack confidence when we compare ourselves to others. It’s hard to dismantle the conditioned belief that we aren’t as creative as other people we know, and that keeps us from trying the very things that might help us feel more confident. In this closing session on the Cornerstones of Creativity, we’ll talk about how to cultivate the kind of faith in ourselves that can ripple out and be life-changing.
Training Your Creative Eye: Blind Contour Drawing Jane Dunnewold 2022-02-23 | Blind contour drawing means drawing a continuous-line that represents the contour, or outline, of the subject and created without looking at the paper.Instead, the artist concentrates only on the subject, focusing on the shapes and line that create it.This is a wonderful exercise for warming up your creative brain before a studio session. It strengthens hand-eye coordination and trains your creative eye to identify elements that form your subject, like shape and line.Spotify drawing playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/6Q8vG28hyKJgCvho4vtiEF?si=64fe55b2b5804329Examples of blind contour drawings: pinterest.com/creativestrengthcollective/blind-contour-drawing------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Community: Building Victorious Relationships Jane Dunnewold 2022-02-19 | The third Cornerstone of Creativity is community.When we engage with other people deliberately in a setting where everyone is aligned with the same purpose – deepening creatively – we are building Conscious Community. The problem is that too often we feel isolated from others or don’t feel supported. We may even begin to feel a little bit like a victim because we don’t fit in or don’t know where to look for a positive tribe. In this session I’ll talk about where to find a community that has your back, just as you have theirs. It’s a win-win victory for everyone!

Clarity: Befriending Your Saboteur Jane Dunnewold 2022-02-12 | The second Cornerstone of Creativity is clarity.Clarity is the ability to be clear – about your preferences, use of time, purpose and goals. A side benefit of cultivating curiosity is that you begin to know what you don’t like in addition to knowing what you DO like! Knowing yourself better reinforces your desire to employ a creative approach to your world. And is the best possible way to avoid sabotaging yourself, or the people who sabotage you. In this session I’ll talk about how to cultivate clarity, and use it to make changes in your life.Read more about the Cornerstones of Creativity:janedunnewold.com/the-cornerstones-of-creativity------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Drawing as an Embodied Practice: Neurographic Art Jane Dunnewold 2022-02-08 | My intention behind this series is to give you a set of exercises to use to ground yourself, work through anxiety or mental blocks you may be having and basically get out of your own way. I know I can over think, over analyze and the purpose of an embodied practice like this one, is to bring your mind back into your body so to speak and give a physical form to a feeling or emotion. Our goal here is to process any worry, unease or self-doubt from inside our body onto the paper. And leave it there.Today we are going to practice neurographic art. This technique was developed by Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev in 2014 as a therapeutic art form that follows a series of steps to transform our emotion into drawing. This can be as involved as you want it to be. You may have an hour to dedicate to this today or maybe just ten minutes. Either way it can provide you a break in your routine and a way to recenter yourself. You can use any type of paper and mark making tool so grab some supplies and let’s get started. Here are some more examples of neurographic art: pinterest.com/creativestrengthcollective/neurographic-artI love drawing to this playlist on Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX9j444F9NCBa?si=59c2a5465378429f------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
Curiosity: Engaging Your Child Self Jane Dunnewold 2022-02-08 | The first Cornerstone of Creativity is curiosity.Creativity is around us just like air and gravity, but some people never pay attention to the fact that it’s around them. They haven’t yet tapped their creative intelligence, in the same way that not everyone has tapped emotional intelligence. And yet these inherent ways of knowing exist in us, waiting to be acknowledged. How do you recognize your own creative spark and then nurture it? One way to begin is by inviting the Child in you to come for a play date! Playing is not a waste of time, no matter what anyone tells you. It’s research of the highest order and a surefire route to cultivating curiosity.Read more about the Cornerstones of Creativity here: janedunnewold.com/the-cornerstones-of-creativity.------------------------------------------------------ Visit My Website: janedunnewold.com Join our community: janedunnewold.com/communitySubscribe to my channel to be notified as soon as I post new content! http://bit.ly/2Iixm9f FACEBOOK: facebook.com/janedunnewoldartist INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/jane.dunnewold Feel free to email me at jane@janedunnewold.com.
