I2Q Vid Prompt #2: Freezer Paper

Hello all!

Hip, hip hooray for Vid Prompt #2. In which, we check out some supplies pertaining to visual journaling, I once again encourage you to draw (drat that darned word), and I talk about freezer paper. This Prompt deals with pages 28 through 33 of Inspired to Quilt. Although I didn't say it in the video; go ahead and print if you want to! Please, be my guest.

Now: I KNOW that many of you hear the word DRAW as a four letter word. I am sorry, here is my rant on that topic:

Just do it.

Do not judge.

When you are done, turn the page and do not look back.

If you always draw the same image, every time you sit down, keep perfecting that.

Save your experiments.

THE FIRST PIECE of art I have ever sold was based on a non-dominant hand drawing warm up. You have to start somewhere.

Judging your first effort is creative suicide. The point in being an artist is to be creative, do not stop yourself before you truly begin.

Be kind to yourself

OK.


I am no video master! I just want to play and have fun with the concepts in the book, so forgive my editing skillz, pl-eaze.

In the next Vid Prompt, I am going to pull the two previous videos together and get you playing with creating ATC's for Long Beach. Are you ready to play? Say, "Yes!"

I am going to be teaching until Tuesday so communication will be spotty. Don't hesitate to use the forums or to ask questions, I will get back to you.
