Seeing Into
In this project we experiment with paint, printmaking, color pencil and colored ink.
We allow our imagination to engage in the imagery that emerges.
Once our imagination "sees" images we then develop visual resolutions.
We research our image ideas by using visual resources to push our own creative limits.
Our "Seeing Into" project focuses on visual conflict resolution which strengthens our creative confidence.
