This week we have a theme to work on. This to to create a bit of a challenge for all the artists involved. This week's challenge is aircraft/ flight. The idea is that the artist has to interpret that however they want. And as long as it is creative, there are no holds barred.
I decided I wanted a little bit of fun with this challenge, so I created a hot air balloon. Which was a lot of fun to make.
It is a little thing I made with paper and wool, reminiscent of the things I made at Primary School. I have name him Joe, and he is currently stuck on my wall. I created a small box out of paper, and the 'balloon' is basically a circle drawn round a CD. The balloon is spray painted, and the basket is coloured with pen. It was all stuck together with double sided tape, where I stuck it on the wall to photograph.
Then, when transferred into Photoshop, I used a photo I had taken of the sky, to use as a background. There was a lot of erasing involved, but it was pretty painless.
I wanted something I could physically make, and with the balloon I achieved that. I did find the task a bit of a challenge at first, because aircraft and the like, isn't something I ever really draw. Which is why, after a passing glance at Art Attack, on Playhouse Disney, I decided to make something. And the whole process was fun, and that is why I create things. For fun. It certainly made things easier once I decided how to make this challenge fun.
See you in a week. :)
