Junk of the Heart

I had despised the symbol of the heart, but in 2007 I literally felt the pain it endured. This lead me to redefine my feelings & my series shows this.

“Beautiful Oops” by Barney Saltsberg
This book is great at helping children think about “mistakes” as beautiful opportunities to try something new. It helps with reinforcing a growth mindset.

Extension: K-12
When your child is creating a piece of art, and they feel they have made a mistake, discuss ideas and ways that they can turn their “mistake” into a new opportunity.

I always try to instill persistence and out of the box thinking in my art studio. A growth mindset, as opposed to a fixed mindset, helps build strong future learners who know they can conquer any unforeseen challenges.

Here is my Beautiful OOPS! I stared to just draw a circle. I was trying to draw a perfect circle with a sharpie. I didn't make a perfect circle so I decided to make balloons out of the OOPS! I think it turned out cute!

Here is my Abstract Name! I put it against black paper, like the demonstration, to show positive and negative space. This came out really nice and it was fun to make!

Things happen all the time when you are working in the studio. You need something to hold a page for you, so you find the closest notebook and tear a piece from the corner or you smudge some paint you didn’t know that was wet. Being left handed, I leave hand smudges on my paper all the time. The list of “oops” are endless! This piece shows how you can turn those imperfections into artwork that no one would have thought of.
Paper: Mix Media paper
Medium: Watercolor

I enjoyed this project a lot, it is different for everyone who does it. If it's your own name then no one else's project will look like yours. Mine is specific to me and I loved that about it.

Its a little hard to see since the picture is so small but this is my beautiful oops. I started by just mixing a bunch of paints together and I added some water and threw it all on the page. When painting mistakes are easy to make. And the most common mistakes are spills or splatters. So I took my splatter and doodled some dragons. In the picture there's a mother dragon reaching for a baby.
I even had another oops while making it. I messed up the feet so I added some black grass which I think made it look even more interesting. I drew tiny balls of fire in a few of the outside splatters cause I thought it'd go well with the dragon theme I had going on.

This is my abstract name project. I loved how it turned out. I thought it was fun reworking and stylizing it. They kind of look like fish bones for some reason to me.

This is my beautiful oops. It started with crumpling the edge of the paper, which I then used the texture of the paper to make some rocky mountains with markers. Mistakes like these can spark inspiration for new ideas, and you may even decide to do it on purpose the next time you create!

This is my beautiful oops. It started with some paint on my hand that smudged on the paper. I thought it kind of looked like a flower and went with it. This project showed me just how dried out my markers have gotten... But I think this would be fun to do with little kids and let them use their imagination.

This is my abstract name. I put my abstract name on dark blue paper partially because I had it handy but also because it brought out the negative space quite nicely. I really enjoy the outcome of this project because it evokes creative and unique thoughts from each person that views it. Not only are there endless possibilities for the shapes and curves that can be cut out from my handwriting but there are also endless possibilities for how it can be interpreted by others.

This is my beautiful oops! I started out with dipping a super wet paint brush into my water colors and then letting it drip onto my paper. I also flicked off some of the excess paint which gave it a sort of splattered effect. The splatters of yellow kind of looked like stars in the sky. So I was inspired to doodle a little girl reaching for the stars. This project is a super fun way to get your creative juices flowing!!

This is my abstract name. Originally, I wrote my name in block letters and cut it out with scissors. But my cat got a hold of it and ripped it apart! So that gave me the opportunity do this project again and try out a different technique. On my second try, I wrote my name in cursive and cut it out with an exacto knife (which I found a lot easier to use than the scissors). Each attempt had its own unique and interesting design.

For my Abstract Name I wanted to get creative with the style of my letters. I know by cutting it out that’s what makes the name look abstract, but I wanted to take it a step further to make the letters less noticeable at first glance. I chose to do it this way because my handwriting is very bad and oftentimes illegible so in a way I thought it represented how hard it is to read my handwriting at times. It was hard to cut out the space inside of the letters, but I really love the way it turned out. It looks very alien-like to me.

This is my Beautiful Oops! I started by spilling paint onto my paper. After the paint dried, I decided to turn my spill into a cute little doodle! I took a sharpie and drew whatever came to my mind. The end result turned out to be singing slug-like character! From there I doodled up a road and floral background. I think it turned out alright, and it would be fun to see what kids could come up with on a project like this!

This is my abstract name. I loved this project! It was so fun to cut out my name and be surprised by the end result. I decided to do mine on red and white paper because that is all I had, but I really enjoy the look the red gives!

This is my beautiful oops drawing, what this drawing is created from was originally poorly designed sketches that I turned into something sort of recognizable and pretty random! I like how it came out and I really enjoyed creating something so freely

This is my abstract name art, if I am being honest, I was totally overthinking it when I had originally tried to create the drawing and folding the paper...but when I finally did it correctly I loved the way it turned out. It’s such an interesting organic symmetrical piece that I will definitely use as name tags or something in the future!

For my beautiful oops I wanted to go with both the spill and stain. For the spill I set down a mason jar and poured water color (which you can see with the blue) over the edge. For the stain (which you can see in the grey) i wet the bottom of a glass with juice (i thought it would create more color lol, but it didn’t end up working). Then I let the liquid accumulate underneath both the jar and glass until it dried. Then i went over the shapes in pen, because messing up with a pen drawing can also add a really cool effect. From the shapes I saw a moon and a fish, and while they aren’t perfect it was still really cool to see how it ended up looking in the end.
