While I am a trained and working visual artist in the media of painting, collage, and drawing, I have spent considerably less time on those interests while I’ve been a student at Seattle Central. Without creating any limitations for myself, I hope to set aside 30 minutes everyday to create a collage/painting. While I hope to include gestalt principles and things I have learned about custom lettering, I want to be completely experimental and open about what I end up producing.
For reference, I will include some artists and artworks that I’m currently looking at

Project Description:
For 60 days, I will set aside 30 minutes to create a collage using art paper, acrylic paint and drawing tools, handmade stencils, painting mediums and varnishes to create sheen and texture.
The goal will be to explore wildly and not feel a need to focus on output, defining subject matter, or even a specific scale for the works. Because I’m mostly going from sketch to computer as a designer, this will give me an opportunity to get back into working with materials to create imagery.
Timeline:
Jan 27–March 27, 2023. 30 minutes daily collage and painting.
Resources:
I would need to purchase more mixed-media paper, a set of acrylic paints, and continuously look for scraps of paper or other materials to work with.
Cost:
The project would cost approximately $100 for the visual art supplies.
