1. Introduction: [MUSIC] Sometimes I
just want to come up to my art room and create
without expectation, and explore new
color palettes and techniques and see what
can I come up with today. I'm Denise Love and I'm an
artist and photographer, and that's exactly what I
want to do with you today. I want you to come up to your art room and create
without expectation, paint intuitively, use a color palette that you
wouldn't normally work with. I want to explore some different
techniques and methods. I want to use this time without the expectation that
I have to create a masterpiece when I
come up and create. This is the perfect type of project to get you loosened up, get you exploring some of
your art materials and discover new things that you're going to love using in
your art going forward. I think you're really
going to have fun with the project I have
in store for you. We're going do one big
project and we're going to tape off several sheets
of paper together, paint as if it were
one big sheet, and then peel the
tape and reveal several smaller abstract
compositions and paintings. Then we can look at
it and say, okay, do any of these work as
paintings in themselves, what do we need to add
to it to finish it off? Are any of them candidates for me to cut up into
other paintings? Because you know I
love to cut stuff up. [LAUGHTER] This is almost
as good as cutting up a big sheet because
we're starting off with a big cut off
sheet or paint on the entire thing and
having fun and mark-making and color exploring and changing out our paint brushes
and playing with our mark-making and then peeling the tape to reveal
what we created. That's the part of art-making
that gives me the most joy. Painting without
the expectation. Maybe cut some music on
and just go with the flow. Then peel that tape and
see what you created. Not everything is going
to end up amazing. But every single time you're going to
learn something new, you're going to
find some material, paintbrush art, color, mark-making
something that you're like, oh, let's use this
again going forward. Or you're exploring
color palettes like I am and every time
I want to create, I want to be like, okay, let's try getting outside of my own box and try a
different color palette. This is the way we discover some things that we're like, oh, I didn't know I love this or oh, might not do that again. [LAUGHTER] I have
revelations every time I come up and create. This is the perfect
project to do when you don't know what else to do and you're feeling creative, but you're feeling
a little stuck. Come up here and type
down some paper and just create without the expectation of what you were trying to make and see if you
can get pleasantly surprised and a lot of
joy out of what you did create just by
letting yourself relax. Today we're going to do that. We're going to paint
a little collection. We're going to peel the tape and evaluate and see what
we've got when we're done. I had so much fun
painting today. I can't wait for you to
give this a try out. On any day that you're
feeling stuck or uninspired, you're just not sure
which direction to go, come up here and
do this project. Pick a new color palette, pull out a few mark-making
and paint brushes, and just see what
can you make if you just go with the flow
with a little music turned on and see
how you can create and make the day better with some art that
you were like, okay, this is super cool. I can't wait to see what you create today with
this technique. I want you to come
back and share those with me and
tell me what you used and what you loved and if there's something that
you're like, okay, now I know I'm not
going to do this again, I want to know these
little discoveries that you had and I'll see you in class. [MUSIC]
2. Class Project: [MUSIC] Your class project is to come back and share with me the yummy intuitive abstracts
that you created today. Can't wait to see what
colors you picked, what materials you
use to paint with, the different shapes and lines and mark making that
you came up with. Come back and share
those with me. I get so excited to
see pieces of art that people created from
one of my classes, and let's get started. [MUSIC]
3. Supplies: [MUSIC] Let's take a
look at the supplies that we'll be using in class. I want you to just
sit and create, explore a new color
palette and I want you to create something that you might not normally create. I am creating from a
color palette inspired by my favorite book In The Mood
For Color by Hans Blomquist. Then I have flip through looking until I found
a page that I'm like, ooh, this one speaks to
me today. Here we go. This one speaks to me today
and you're welcome to judge the piece that I created with that inspired
color palette and see, did I accomplish something that looks similar to that
color palette or not? But in the end, the color palette is just the inspiration
for painting today. I'm not trying to recreate
this picture of a window, but I did find it very interesting the way
that I interpreted these colors and when I painted how those colors
ended up on my piece, I do think that this
piece here comes the closest in my inspiration
color palette. The others are a bit brighter, and I used that green
gold color in a way that's not actually in this painting picture,
but that's okay. This is just our inspiration, you don't have to follow your
inspiration photo to the T. It is really cool when
it works out that you did. But as you're creating, don't him yourself into a box and then get
upset if you don't. I'm not upset at all that I've got an extra color in there. This was just my guide
to get me started. I want you to pick a color
palette that maybe you're not normally painting with and
say what can I create today. That's what I did and I came
up with some cool stuff. Cool. [LAUGHTER] I'm just
using my Canson XL Watercolor, 140 pound cold press
paper because I'm in experimental and exploring
new things mode. Just want an inexpensive paper that's not going to tie me down to wanting to create something amazing so I
don't waste my paper. I want you to pick your
favorite paper and inexpensive paper that
you feel like you can let loose on and you're
not going to be upset if it's not perfect. For me that's this Canson
XL Watercolor paper, which usually I can
get one like buy one, get one free at the Michel's, I stock up when they do that and so I got a closet
full of paper. [LAUGHTER] I recommend
you give that a try. Look for papers when they're on sale and then sit at
your table and do projects like this
today and explore color palettes and see
what can we create. I also have some
painters tape because I took this bigger
piece of paper, I cut it in half. I use two sheets and I made a great big giant piece of paper taped up and
you'll see that in the project and
then I painted on the whole thing as if it were one big piece that
I was painting, and then we untaped it to reveal these awesome little
paintings that we created. I'm also just pulling a few
of my favorite paints out. Just they weren't exact, I didn't have all
the exact colors in the picture so of course
then I'm going to mix some colors and so
I ended up pulling out this Prussian blue
Phthalo by Amsterdam, light olive green
gray by Liquitex. I really loved this green gray. Really I'm almost wondering if my color palette would have benefited me leaving
that bright green out, but I didn't, I used it. [LAUGHTER] Then I've got sharp and sap green because
it was a beautiful, deep, almost blackish green. Then I also pulled out some of my different paint brushes, so I want you to pull out a
variety of paint brushes. You can try all square headed
ones and different sizes. You could try a fan brush, I've got lots of different ones here with paint still in them. I did a square brush. I did yummy fan brush. I love the way the
fan brush works, so try one of those. A variety of brushes
just so that you can get your paint and
mark-making jam going on and then I
wanted a variety of mark-making tools so I've
got a palette knife. I like my catalyst wedge
because I can do some good line marking and I can drag paint if I wanted to so I've
got one of those. I've got my mechanical
pencil because I like to drag that through paint and make marks with it so
I've got one of those. My post pen for some
yummy mark-making in dots as a finishing element. Then I also love my punchnella, which is basically a sheet of metal that they punch
sequence out of that man, it makes the most
amazing dot sequences so punchnella got a little
bit of shelf liner. I love the shelf liner, favorite tool behind
the punchnella also got some bubble wrap
which I did not end up using, but I do have it on my table
to maybe have played with. Then I'm also using some gesso so to mix in with
my paints because then I can draw on top of the
paint fairly easily because it'll make
the paint gritty and I'll let it'll accept pastels or pencils or whatever
I might want to do on top. Which on these projects I
ended up not doing but I like the consistency that
this makes the acrylic paint. I like mixing gesso in
my paint and I have black and white and clear, so I've got a whole
bunch of gesso. As for a white and
black paint element, the gesso is cheaper, say then acrylic paints, so a lot of times this is my white rather than white paint so just some fun tips there. Hope you're going to
love this project. It was all about relaxing. I'd love it if you
put some music on and just go with the flow
and see what you can mark make on all the
pieces and then be amazed when you pull the tape
off and see what you got. I can't wait to see what you're creating so let's
get started. [MUSIC]
4. Painting Big: [MUSIC] Thought we could
start this project by picking a color palette and rather than just picking something off the
top of my head, which I do sometimes and
then I'm just not as happy as if I pick a color
palette that I'm like, this one really speaking to me. This one today is
really speaking to me. It has some beautiful
blue and indigo, some yummy greens, a little
bit of white in there. There's maybe even
a little bit of an umbra color shown in there, so I thought let's do something with this color palette and
see what we can come up with. That's my inspiration for the colors that I've pulled out. I don't have any
pre-mixed colors that are completely exact per se. What I've done is I've pulled out just from what I
happen to already have colors that were at least close because even though
I'm not trying to maybe replicate the
color 100 percent, I want to get close because
that's what appealed to me, but you can variate off
of it a little bit. I'm thinking Sap Green here from Charvin is a really
pretty deep green. That was speaking to me. Then I have some, this is
Prussian blue Phthalo. It looks like a Payne's gray. It's very deep blue-gray. Then I've got the
Liquitex Green Gray, and I've got the
light olive green. Even though those are not the exact color of that
green that I saw in there, I thought that we could mix
that up and make it closer. That's what I was thinking. [NOISE] Really if I
just go ahead and take that palette knife
and mix these up, let's just see what we get and I can tweak it
as we're going, but I just felt
like it was more of an olivey unusual green but
not quite that bright green, but not quite that gray-green. Look at that, that's very
unusual and interesting. I still like this gray-green. Let's put a little more
of that out there. I could have another
color in there that's not so green as that, but still mixing the
two and just see. The goal here is just end
up with colors you like. It doesn't have to be
exact to what you saw. That's what I'm
doing. Just play. Let yourself enjoy the
experience of creating, discovering new
things. I like that. I've also put down
here black gesso, clear gesso, and white gesso. I like the way that the gesso
mixes with the paint and makes it a different blend
ability on our paper. It also makes it a
little gritty and less shiny so that we can
layer things on top, which I love to do. We could come back
on top with pencil or pastels or anything
that really grabs us. We could come back
on top with those. Let's set my paints
out of the way. Set this over here. I have four sheets of paper and I've just
taken that Canson XL 9 by 12 and I've cut those in half and then taped
them side by side. I really want to paint
in an intuitive way. This was one great
big piece of paper. Then peel the tape
so that we have four individual pieces
of art when we're done, I thought that would be lots
of fun. Let's go ahead. I want to experiment with
different-sized brushes. I want to play and experiment with different techniques
and different lines. We could even start this
off just to get it going with some drawing
and mark-making. Even though we may not
see that when we're done, it is a really nice way to at least get you started and on that path to creating without
looking at that white page, thinking, where do I even start? I don't know where to start.
Let's just look at this. We could look at this and say, I want to paint all circles, or I want to paint all squares, or I want to paint some
amoeba-shaped things or whatever it is that you're feeling that you
might want to paint. I'm feeling like
maybe I want to do, I don't know, what
do I want to do? Let's just pick a
color and start. We can just start. I'm going to paint across
all the pages just like this is one big painting. Let me add a little
water in this too. I want it to flow a little easier. We're just going to see. I'm not thinking at the
moment at composition because when we're all done, I can take these and cut them up into smaller pieces if I want. I always keep that in mind. I don't have to keep exactly what I painted,
but I just thought, how fun would that
be to create across a whole thing playing with the different colors
and the color palettes, maybe dragging some stuff in. [NOISE] You can add some water. You can do this with watercolor, you could do this with gouache, you could do this
with acrylic ink. I just thought for today, let's play with
acrylics on mine. I wasn't trying to create
anything specific. I don't have something in
my mind that I wanted. That's definitely a different green there. Let's just see. I'm trying to step outside my own box here with
the creating and say, let's create a little
different today. This is how I discover
new things and how I move into the next phase of whatever it is I was
meant to create. I'm just mixing in some of
my gesso with my paint. Let's just go with it. Look at that in this
weird in a good way. [LAUGHTER] I'm just
feeling it here. Can come in here with some
texture. [NOISE] I like that. That's pretty cool. I like
this depth in the painting. It's coming up with
some new techniques. I do something on one. I'm going to try to continue
it on all four in some way just to make them
all cohesive still. I'm not even changing
my paintbrush up. I'm just using the same
paintbrush even though I've got these colors in
there, I'm just experimenting. We could go ahead and
change up our paintbrushes. Let's see if we try a fan brush. This might not be
the right fan brush but we got a fan brush here. Let's just see if we
can get something different here. Look at that. Because I definitely want you to experiment with your brushes, experiment with your techniques, experiment with your colors. Pick a color palette out of your favorite book and just see what is this going to do if
I do this. Look at that. I like the fan brush in there. Let's fill up some
more color first. Let's go in with maybe
some blue black. I put a little bit of that black gesso in with
that dark blue. [NOISE] I got a little bit of that green
that just meshed in there. That was super cool; what that just did right there. It's why I haven't
changed the color up on my brush because these little delightful
surprises that pop through like that little
bit right there, lovely. So it is fun to not be so vigilant on cleaning
everything out. See now, that's super fun. Let's see. We can do
some mark-making. I'm looking for [NOISE] my
mechanical pencil. Here we go. We could do some
mark-making and just see what would that
add to our piece. [NOISE] Oh, see I can still get in there
with some of this paint. It's not all dry. Where it is dry, it's
given me a nice mark. [NOISE] Oh, yeah, I like that. Oh, yeah, I like it. I like it. Let's see. I know
you think I'm crazy. What if we come back
with some white? You know what I really want? I really want that punchinella. Here it is. Look, I've got
some punchinella right here. [LAUGHTER] Look what I got. I got all of these right here. [LAUGHTER] I've got
some bubble wrap, got some of the shelf liner. Oh, the shelf liner
is super fun. I've got the bubble wrap, I've got the punchinella. Punchinella is one of my
favorite things to paint with. Now, I've just put some
paint on this rubber thing. You know what?
Let's just use it. It might not go through. That's just white gesso. [NOISE] Let's just
see what that does. Oh, see, way cool. I did do more than I
expected it to do. There's some paint on this now. Lets just rub it out
right onto our piece. I'll say I love things with
circles like this thing. This works really good if it's a dry brush and solid paint. Let's just get some of that
in there too look at that. [NOISE] Oh, see, super fun. [NOISE] I'm liking that. If I wanted I could take this and get a little
bit of paint on it, and stamp it in. I could do that. Actually, I could just
paint some paint on here. Oh, look at that. [LAUGHTER] I love it when things get surprising and exciting. Oh, see, look at that. This is the most fun
about painting now. I'm not painting to sit down
and paint some masterpiece, I'm painting to enjoy
the process of painting. For so many years I
wasn't able to do that, but man, I can do it now. Let's put some
white gesso on here [NOISE] and get
some lines going. Because now I paint without
the expectation to share the joy and to see what happens if I do this or
what happens if I do that. Before I sat down
and I thought I got to paint something amazing
or I've wasted my time. [NOISE] It took me a
long time to get past that feeling of I'm wasting
my time even if I enjoyed it. To get to the point
that I'm at now, and you may not have that issue, but man, I sure did. Oh, yeah, I'm feeling that. These are some odd colors. This is definitely outside
of what I feel natural. I also have a pallet knife. We could come in here with
some palette knife marks. I don't know. Maybe
I like it like it is and we need to peel
the tape and see, did we even create anything
or was there something wonderful in these
that maybe we created. I don't know. Let's
come in here. Oh, yeah, let's do this. Let's come in here with
some of the white and just see what we
can get. Why not? [NOISE] I'm going on some of the spaces
that I've left undone because it's a good way to fill that in with
something cool. We can always do
some mark-making on top after we peel this, if we're like, oh,
this could really use some extra mark-making on top. I always come back
with my posca pen or something like
that and just see, what can we create? I'm going to let this dry for a bit and think
on it for a second, and I'll be right back. [MUSIC]
5. Revealing and Finishing: [MUSIC] This is not
100 percent dry, but it's dry enough for
me to want to look at it. So let's peel the tape and just see what we
got because to me, that reveals things
and tells me, does it need more or is it
pretty cool just like it is? Let's peel the tape. These colors are
outside my norm. That's why I like
picking a color palette from one of my favorite interior design books and just saying, let's create and see what
can I get with this, because stepping outside
your comfort zone is how we grow. These colors even though
I like blues and greens, I've used them in
a way that really isn't intuitive that I
would have picked these. I'm peeling this though, look it as we peel the
tape. Can you feel it? I'm feeling. [LAUGHTER]
I'm getting excited here. [NOISE] [LAUGHTER] We
can always cut it up. Let's peel this one right
here in the middle. Grab this piece of tape here. Look at this. I can't wait to turn these around
and take a look at them. I'm just using painter's tape. I'm very carefully trying
to pull at an angle back, trying to keep as much
paper intact as I can. Look at this. Once you
get on torn apart, now we can look at each one
and say, does this work? Now feeling this one with the movement
down here like this. See now I'm feeling
that right there. The colors are still unusual. Let's see. Which
one are we feeling? I'm feeling that right
there. Look at that. Now if you were into some yummy contemporary
abstract art, I'm feeling super cool. [LAUGHTER] Loving how
these have turned out. Now I like that one like that. I like how this has
this solid over here, I like the movement
we can see in there. I like the yummy
choppy white lines. I like it right there too. Let's see. Now, there we go. Now if I were going to do
it as this orientation, I do the stripes at the top. What would you do? Would you do this
stripes at the bottom? Feeling this too. [LAUGHTER] See these are
super fun. Look at that. Now this pair would be really cool just like that. Super cool. If you approach this without the expectation of
something specific, you open your mind to it being whatever
it was meant to be. Now I like this too.
Look at this drive in your eye through
our painting here. When I'm looking at compositions and thinking, is this working? Is this not working? I'm looking for some contrast, something from the
light to the dark. I'm looking for some
movement maybe, so I like how things
drive your eye through the piece and on
something like this, I'm almost feeling
rule of thirds where you break that
paper up into thirds. Third, third, third. Here I can feel
like this is 1/3, this is 1/3, this is 1/3. Or if I go this way, I've got a 1/3 at the
top and I've got this as a 1/3 and this is 2/3. You can see how we've got some yummy composition
elements in here. We've also got I think
out of these four, those two are super cool, trying to be careful
because the white and the black are a little
thicker, so still wet. Now that I've looked at those, those two are super
successful in my mind. The first two out of those, I love all of the white
that's on this one. I feel like this one didn't
get enough white and I almost feel like
I could add to it. So let's take a look
at adding to it. Hope I'm not sticking
those down where they don't stick on
something they shouldn't. [LAUGHTER] Let's look at adding maybe some more white element to this and we could even come back with Posca pen or
some type of ink or something that you like
using and you could do some mark-making and some dots and some lines and some drawing, but I'm going to use the white
gesso and see if we can do some other type of
mark or something on here that gives me more of what I feel
like I'm missing. I'm not being real specific
on where I put this other than just
what I'm thinking in my mind. Look at that. [NOISE] This brush is dried
funny and so the mark that it just made, super interesting. How cool is that? [LAUGHTER] There's
no telling what I used this brush for before that, but that was super fun. I do like the really
unusualness of that mark there. That just made me
feel a whole lot better about the
contrast in that piece. Sometimes it's not tons and
tons that a piece needs. Sometimes it's just a tiny bit. What if we looked at
this one and said, oh maybe this leads
a little more, maybe I'll do Posca pen on it? I do love dots. So maybe we'll do some
dots and if we like it, we can expand on this idea. If we don't, I'm starting in a little area where
it's not going to change the feel and look of
the giant piece overall. Look how cool that is though. [LAUGHTER] Loving that little
subtle extra dot there. I'm feeling like I
could do that right up here and I would
like it also. Super cool. Extra just a tiny
bit of something in there. That was super cool. We can do that on every
piece that we've got here. We can say, could this benefit from
[LAUGHTER] a little bit of mark-making with some dots or not or do we
love it like it is? We can just evaluate and
think, could this benefit? Now that's a little
bit less traditional. There was other marks in
there and so then the dot mark-making just added
to it. Look at that. I love that. I actually like those two with a
little bit of dots in it. Then I've got these two without the little bit of
dots, I'm loving that. Actually out of the three, think this one here
is my least favorite. I'm not sure what it is, if it's the green line going through here that's
throwing that one for me. These other three, I'm thinking amazing with the way that
we've got the movement, the way the colors worked out. I'm loving those
three right there. Do I want to add, now
that I've got dots, and dots, and dots, do I want to do a little tiny
bit of dot work on this one just to pull that together
as a little trio. Then after you do
something like this, I want you to look at
these colors and say, okay, I love what I've made. Would I use these colors again? What do you think? Would
you use this color palette? Would you use it
like your favorite? Is it one that you're like, I hate that colors together? Is it one where you're like, best color palette I've
ever created with? I want to know what you think
about your color palette. If you use it again, I definitely want
you to step outside your comfort zone with these and create with a palette that you would never naturally
pick yourself. I pick blues and greens, I'd say blue-green
palette is nice. I decorate my house
with blues and greens. That's a palette I'm
naturally drawn to but not in the way
that I've made these and created
other colors out of it and I don't know,
put this together. This is not my blue-green
color palette. This is a blue-green
color palette, but it's not the one I would
naturally gravitate towards. Now I've created
three amazing pieces and a fourth that I'm looking at and I still can't decide, do I love it? Do I not love it? Will I love it if I cut
it into something else, like maybe if I cut
it into this here? Let's just look at this.
Let's just cut this one up. [LAUGHTER] Three that
we say, love those. One, that we say, let's cut this one
up and see what we think because cutting up art, it's my favorite thing to do. [LAUGHTER] In the
cutting up of the art, I'm going to go ahead
and cut the edges off because that will free me up of that edge visually be in there and
I just left some white. Let's just cut that up. These are perfect
if you're cutting stuff up for making
other pieces. If you want to cut these into the junk art collage
pieces, those are fun. This is exactly the stuff I'd
use in a junk art collage. I'd also use these as
regular collage pieces. Maybe I would cut these
up into some micro art, which I'm a little bit feeling that this one right
here, I'm feeling this. You can see that right there, that's what I'm feeling there. I'm going to cut this
right there and just see, now that works better for me. I think what was throwing
it was some of the stuff I had going on with this
piece right here. But as a little
tiny piece of art, that's pretty darn cool. I could even cut this one again. Let's see how big
this even is when you just cut that in half
and see what we got. It could be a tag on a gift. Five inches, so let's cut
this at two-and-a-half. Now out of those two like that, that's a nice little pair [LAUGHTER] and a
nice little square. This I could mat on a piece of white paper and give
it the white frame or I could mat under some mat and glass and that would be pretty. Those are pretty. I'm not sure I would revisit
this color palette, but I do love what
I got out of this. I want you to experiment. I want you to pick
a color palette you wouldn't normally do. I want you to take four
pieces of paper together like it's one big piece of art and
paint on the whole thing. Mark-make, have some fun. Then once you peel the tape, see if you've got some that
you are just like, wow, I can see all three
of those amazing. If you don't, cut them up and see what else
you can create, because these are super cool. I've ended up with an
amazing collection here that I'm very happy with. I hope you love these and the ones that
you're going to create with a cool color palette and I'll see you back
in class. [MUSIC]
6. Final Thoughts: I hope you had fun
creating in this way. I had so much fun having
you in class today. When I create on camera, I'm being real with you, I'm creating, I'm giving you
my thoughts as I'm going, and I know that might be a little bit different
technique that a lot of teachers do
where they just tell you, do this, do this, and that's the technique and then
you go off and paint. But I want you to
know that some of the thoughts and the feelings that you have when
you're painting, we all have those. We all have mistakes. We all have things
that we're like, shouldn't have tried that or
look how this worked out. I want you to know
that we all have those trials and tribulations, and excitement when we
sit down to paint too. I'm giving you the
real me when I paint and I want you to
take away from that, that the things that
you're feeling at your art table is normal. This is the perfect project today to come and
explore and experiment, and see if you have new color palettes that maybe you wouldn't
have thought of. Try some mark-making,
try some line work, try some different shapes, and then peel the tape and
just see what did that create. Be surprised and amazed at some of the stuff
you created without the expectation and the
pressure that maybe we would normally put on ourselves
when we come up to art table. Not every time that you do
this will you get a win. I loved what I painted
today and at the same time, I think, would I use this
color palette again? Maybe, maybe not. Probably not. I would use parts of it, but maybe I would
change some elements. These are some of
the discoveries that get you into what
you truly love. They push you every time
you come up here to create, you get new skills, you get new insights, and these are the things that
make an art so much fun. I love the process, so much more now than I ever did when I was
younger and I was sitting down and I wanted
to create something amazing every time I sat down. Because now I do create
something amazing every time. I took all of that pressure
off myself to do that. I think releasing yourself
of that expectation, frees your mind and your body to create what you were
meant to create and you enjoy being at
your art tables so much more than you
ever did before. I can't wait to see the
pieces that you create today. What was the color
palette you picked? What marks did you make? What decisions did you make
as far as did I love it as a whole piece of art or did I cut it up into smaller pieces? I want to see those
discoveries and you tell me, what did you think
and could you come up here on days when you're not inspired and just tape down some paper and just slap
on some paint and be like, what can I create
today because I need to get past this rut I'm in or I need a new
color palette, or I need to learn
some new skills, or I just need to go create for the sake of creating so that tomorrow I can come
back and create and the next day I
come back and create. Because on the times when
you're not creating, you're just like, I'm
not feeling inspired, I'm not going to
go create nothing. Those times turn into months and sometimes
months turn into years, and If you'll just get yourself up to your art
room and creating, then tomorrow it gets
easier and the next day it gets easier and then you
start finding that joy. I want you to just take that step on a day when
you're not feeling inspired, type some stuff down and
give this project a try, and do this project every single time that you're like,
what I want to do now? I don't know. Here's
what you can do, and this is how we're
going to learn and discover new stuff
about ourselves. Come back and share
these projects with me. I love seeing what you discovered and came up with
when you were in class. I can't wait to see those and I'll see you
next time. [MUSIC]
