Creative Sound

How does the rhythm of sound inspire you?  Whether it's music, birds singing, or a waterfall, listen carefully.  Creative sound can also inspire you for new ideas and stories.

Product Stories

Stories behind a product give the product more value.  The process, behind the scenes, and the people who make the product play a role in the story.  Today I have featured the herbal tea leaves from Sense Asia.  They harvest their natural tea from the farms of Vietnam. Each package of tea comes individually packaged with a story.  It's the life of the local farmers of Vietnam who give the world an opportunity to share their experience of tea.

Background Colors

The background color of an art can change the mood of the artwork.  Draw a tree on three different colored sheets of paper.  Each color will give a different feeling for the artwork. Even though the tree will be the same, the background color will change the effect of the art.

Capture Your Spirit

What captures your spirit?  Music, art, dance, theater, or poetry?  Create a scrapbook with inspirations that capture your creative spirit.

Favorite Animal Photos

Animals are wonderful photography subjects.  I took this photograph of my dog Simba.  He loves to take photos.  Take photos of your favorite animals.  The photos can be used to draw animal sketches.

Your Color Scheme

Do you have a favorite color scheme?  Here are a few color scheme ideas for your next art project: Earth tones, Forest green, Pastels, Warm tones, & Tropical colors.
