Circuits Inspired Art

To create art using this style you will need:

Gesso (or white paint from the scrap section of a hardware store)

Acrylic paints

Ink (black)

Pastel or Conte Crayon

Steel wool

Other miscellaneous supplies

Instructions and process below

My Process:

White paint on the background for gesso (and to strengthen the paper)

Splattered some more for texture

Used watered down black paint and ink in the back ground

Tipped the paper to get the drips in the background

Did the same with other paint

Steel wool creates texture

Repeat steps

Added white pastel and Conte Crayon on top to create the white

Alternative Art/Drawing Lesson:

Discuss what drawing is/can be

Why can't you draw with paint and steel wool?

What new material can you use? 

Or what old material can you use in a new way?

To use as an art therapy lesson:

Discuss why the person created the shapes, pattern, image or design they did

Discuss the use of specific colors

Ask how they feel when creating art

Do they like the process or the final piece?

What does the final piece make them think about?
