Class 7 ~ my Avatars and I began our new creations on 12x12 blank canvases. Step 1 was to collage, place all sorts of papers in random order and create something pleasing to the eye, something 'beautiful'. Then step 2 came along. I asked my Avatars to trust me. We poured black molding paste on top of our beautiful compositions and scraped off areas of the composition using drift wood, sticks and cardboard tags. As artists, we are pushing our limits and challenging ourselves; this means we will not always create what is 'beautiful'. But trusting me is key; when we are done steps 3 & 4 in Class 8 next week - we will have master pieces. I am very proud of my Avatars; they continue to keep an open mind and their intuitive skills are growing every week. We take risks, we experiment, we challenge ourselves, this is where originality lives.
