Different writing formats


Project: Draw a simple human shape to represent your subject and write about that person within its boundaries.

Materials: watercolor, pen, plastic canvas stencil

Artist: Janet Freeman, July, 2005

My, my, we mustn't rely on standard paragraph form with margins and straight lines for our journal entries. Below are some ways to break away:

Paint horizontal color stripes and use them as lines for text.
Draw or paint wavy lines and write along them.
Write border to border.
Write in a circle or spiral or square.
Write within a shape.

The last example is illustrated in the posted page.

Musingly, Carol
