This week I have dubbed as my planing week, that is all I have been doing. What I have is my color palette and subject matter, what I need is a way to express it visually. What I tend to do, which is something that generally gets the ball moving for me, is OVER planing my piece. I ended up with at least 6 different "plan sheets". Each sheet I would write down my ideas of course, but in addition I would try to do something different with each plan sheet that may translate to what I want my end piece to look like. I have to say, the planning stages are one of my favorite parts of the entire art process, on par with the actual making.
In the end I ended up creating one plan sheet of what I believe my final project would look like. It involves mirror, flowers, branches/twigs, damask wallpaper pattern, and gold+black+white+silver tissue paper.. I made 6 copies of that one planning sheet and made it me pro-typing sheet. In all, this week was a very big step from last week!
