This project is a great example of providing quality materials to allow the art to become an equalizer for artists of varying abilities. The simple process...painted background, pattern paper layer to add depth, and circles made from bright handmade paper...made the process accessible and still maintained an artistic outcome.
Giving artists ample choices in colors and sizes of circles, but keeping the shape the same avoids over stimulation and "cluttered" art pieces. Magically, this also creates a wonderful sense of accomplishment because there was really no wrong way to create the piece. Each artist could put as many or as few circles as they wished. The high quality handmade paper added sophistication to the piece without breaking the bank.You could really feel the energy in the room when we laid out all the different and exciting circles! Finding little ways to bring quality materials to the process gives the artists a true sense of pride with their piece.
