Spirit Animals
Starts Soon,
Though
out the centuries, animals and human beings have co-existed on the most part.
We have witnessed their behavior and them us. Emulating their strengths and
weakness we empathize and symbolize. We honor them with masks, paintings,
costumes, sculptures and drawings. The connection with creativity has also coexisting in a similar manor. Studying behavior, foods eaten, movement,
seasonal environments and cycles we gain a new understanding of their presence
in whole world. Human Beings have the ability to self-express meaning from what
they hear, see and feel in unique and creative way. Using collage papers either found or bought
along with basic design skills, papers will be made to assemble together with a
method of tacking down with heat on a desired substrate; watercolor paper,
canvas or wood panels. The exchange and intermingling mixed media to build
layers of creative history and poetic symbolism will be emphases through the
process of making the papers and to the end result. Books about the meaning and
symbolism with in each of our cultures can help guide us on the many choices we
make.
