Monthly Muse August 2017 -Week 2

Welcome to the Art Journaling Monthly Muse!



Muse:
verb: to reflect deeply on something
noun: the source of artistic inspiration​

This past Mixed Media Monthly (M3) kit made me think of Frida Kahlo, why? Maybe it was the bold colors or maybe it was all the nature elements, stamps that were part of the kit. The thing is I love Frida, I love her dark art and I love the POP ART influence that people are adding to the vision of her.

This month I will be using Frida art work and work art inspired by Frida as our inspiration. If you don't care for Frida please still join us and use any of the amazing faces and dolls in the store or around the internet.

Here is my mood board, but I created an even bigger board in PINTEREST HERE.

​

WEEK #2 Inspiration: Frida - UNIQUE
WEEK #2 Challenge: Fluidity. Frida's art was dark, unique, and strong, but it had such a fluidity that was so unique to her. If you go check the PINTEREST BOARD I created you will see a lot of people using very actual fluid mediums to portray pictures of Frida. A lot of acrylic, watercolor, drippings are seen in that PINTEREST BOARD. Either let those mediums inspire you or let the definition of the word fluidity inspire you to create something out of the norm to your art.


Here is my page for Week #1:
