Sometimes, I just stare at my phone. Which app will fill the moment?
Hmm, that is kind of scary to me. Looking to some “curated” system to entertain me in the moment. So I have created a way to inspire myself with my own photos.
It may sound silly but I scroll through my camera roll instead of Instagram or Facebook. I am in charge or what I see and I am reminded of my process and success.
I have annotated a few images with words and put them in a favorites folder.
I often use cast shadows of grasses and leaves in my drawing practice.
A quick scroll through my images reminds me of the fun I have had over the last few weeks. And how much art work I have produced.
I offer this idea to you.
Maybe your life,
- your environment,
- your family, and
- your own camera roll can be a source of art making ideas.
Try it!
One way I have used photos as source material is to make stencil. Check out this blog post.
