April 21: Lisa Ryan
Prompt: inspired by Lindsay Heider Diamond, draw only with a variety of 5 organic shapes that repeat, intersect and overlap.
Repeat, overlap, intersect, and vary the size of the shapes inside of a square, rectangle or circle. Think about the spaces in between the shapes, the negative space. Color all spaces using only 4-5 colors. Lindsay created In Search of Wild Beasts (right) from roving wool on felt. Each 6 x 6 inch square is created using repeated organic shapes and bold colors. Her inspiration came from art movements such as Fauvism and German Expressionism, as well as modern day abstract artists and Georgia O’Keefe.
