Sebastian, the guru, mentor, guide, tutor (and so many other hats he wears) of the various digital art courses to which I belong, has come up with the idea that we can go back through the 25 sessions of our Awake course. It was originally a year-long venture, two sessions a month, but we’re going to re-visit the sessions at the rate of one composition per week, so we would finish in December. The purpose is to give our creativity a serious spark, and at the rate of one a week, that would be serious for my usual slow pace. I’m up for the challenge, though.
It was actually something I’ve been thinking of doing, mainly so that I could put some of the techniques I’ve learned to use. I did the first session some time ago and posted it here on the blog and on Facebook, but I’ll post it again here. One of the techniques in that first session is to use an open-ended frame so that some of the elements of the composition appear to be spilling out of the frame. I titled my creation “Breaking Out.” I’ve got an idea for the second week, so I’d better get busy on that. One a week . . . whew!
