ART – Day by Day

by Rosemary Schram

Here is my Index Card Challenge for the month of June.

Use index cards to create small art pieces daily. This

allows you to quickly connect to your creative self each

day which then empowers you to create even larger

connections in life.

Try creating a stained glass window

effect using colored markers.

Vary the position of the Index Card to

create a different effect. This was done

mostly with highlighters and line

markers.

Add writing to your art to give it a

personal touch. This was made with

acrylic paints and a black marker.

Experiment with images that can

be flipped in different directions.

Made with acrylic paints.

Allow your writing to come

from your art. Made using

markers and highlighters.

Inspired writing from art made using

kids colored tempera paint sticks.

Collage made using shiny paper cut

into a spiral shape holding a 3D

butterfly sticker.

Stamping art made with acrylic

paint, sponges and circle patterns.

Caterpillar created with circles

cut from shiny paper on a

background of glitter glue.

Use your favorite character trait and

ignite it with color and texture.

Collage made with yarn, ribbon,

washi tape and tissue paper.

Use only colorful glitter glue

and see what you can create.

Spring or summer flowers

made using chalk pastels.

Combine geometric shapes and

a background of colored sand

to produce textural art.

Splatter painting on a coffee filter.

Add some lines with a metallic marker.

Geometric shapes using colored

pencils with a feather added for fun.

Consider adding lots of dots to

your next abstract art picture.

Outlining shapes can put a

unique emphasis on them.

Abstract art may actually have images

hidden in it. Be sure to turn your

picture in all directions to see them.

Play with ways to put words

and movement in your art.

Layer geometric shapes and then

turn some in other directions.

Stamping is fun when you add

metallic paint or metallic markers.

Paint a picture and add stickers or

page markers for a 3D look.

Mix and match foam stickers added

to a picture made with markers.

Create Zentangle type shapes on Rainbow

Scratch Off paper. Then cut them out and add

additional colors with markers for a new look.

Take a clue from a

sticker and expand it.

Even varying the sizes of just one

shape can make an interesting drawing.

Look through magazines and find an

interesting image. Then add words

or colors to make it your own.

Try reusing old cards. Cut out images

from them. Then add words and

stickers to bring them back to life.

Layer small textured material

samples, stickers and words for

a special one of a kind message.
