Part of what makes color so exciting is that it can mean something different to each of us. For some, red might feel stressful or angry. For others, it might communicate passion and life. This Creative Challenge asks you to explore your unique relationship to color. Play around with different tones, and create a piece that inspires you!
This collage was created using free paint cards from the local hardware store, but you can use any scrap material with colors or textures that inspire you. They can be patterned or plain. You can pick colors from all across the color wheel, or explore different shades of one color.
Here are some other materials that you might have around the house that could be used to create a color collage:
- Magazines
- Cereal or tissue boxes
- Wrapping paper
We used our color cards to create a sunset. You can create an image of your own, or explore color in an abstract, nonrepresentational way. Consider the shapes your colors are. Do you want to cut them into swirls, or weave them together?
Be sure to show off your creation on Instagram using the hashtag #MakeStuffFeelBetter.
