WEEK 3 | CELEBRATE OUR SENSES | DAY 15 |
|
Take in the smells all around you today: literally stop and smell the roses, notice scents from nature and those that are man made, take a big inhale of the food you're eating before that first bite, bury your face in your pet's fur, think of scents that make you feel nostalgic and remind you of joyful memories. Let your nose help you find inspiration: - Art supplies have so many different smells--is there one you enjoy or brings up strong memories? A few items that come to mind: crayons, sharpies, paints, and different types of glues and adhesives. For me, I LOVE the way StazOn black ink pads smell--it reminds me of almonds which reminds me of making an almond jelly dessert with my mom when I was really little (have you had this dessert before?) I never would've thought I'd get this from an ink pad lol
- Add scent to your project whether it's a piece of cardstock sprayed with your favorite perfume, using scented markers or scratch n sniff stickers or add things that remind you of a smell you enjoy: pages from an old book, pressed rose or flower petals, etc.
- Capture the scent in a drawing of your favorite smell--a perfume bottle or label, a dish or baked good, a flower. Create a simple line drawing in pencil, add light watercolor, then go over the lines again with a pen after the watercolor has dried to make a bolder outline (or leave as is)
