Paper dancing

 APR Heads, shoulders knees and toes!


Paper Dancing
This week over at the  Artists playroom Jenn set the weird and wonderful task of interpreting the song we all sang as children into some form of art.

 


I decided not to go down the route of painting my toes, I don't like them much and don't really want to inflict them on everyone else, nor do I really know that my knees would make good art, so..
Here we have Head, shoulders and arm...sort of, I just had fun with my box of paper scraps and gesso. Changed the tone a little digitally My figure looks like she is dancing, perhaps to the song :)


I use left over ice cream tubs to store my paper scraps, nothing is wasted,things always come in useful!

      Thanks Annie, I'm not really that organized, I just don't like throwing things away. :)

      Thanks, It is a tough Challenge this week! I must say I had second thoughts as I really wasn't sure what to do. Thats why I ended up messing around with glue in the hope something would happen :)

    I love the colour and movement in your lovely collage. Everything seems to be swirling around in the air currents she makes as she dances around, so everything seems to be dancing. This is a greatbinterpretation of the theme.

    Thanks for your comments on my blog Rita. Love how your figure has her arms extended and it really looks like she is singing the song with gusto.

    This is one of my favorites of yours. I love all the color and motion, all the swirling. And I love the text that you snuck in there.
