| "The Healing" Color-Aid Paper, Ink 2004 If you've ever gone to Grand Valley State University for art, (or maybe ANY art school ; I don't know) you will instantly recognize the much-hated Color-Aid paper from many of the intro classes. I hated it just as much as the next person ... then I decided to use up for one of my own projects. I spent the money on the huge box of the stuff, so why let it go to waste? I think I skipped an entire day of classes to work on this. In case you don't fully appreciate the horrors of Color-Aid paper, basically they are larger, more expensive, "artsier" versions of paint samples. You cut them up and place them ever so neatly into aesthetically pleasing shapes and designs. I hated using it for stuff like that, but for my own projects and ideas, it was actually a lot of fun and strangely satisfying. |
