@LaurelGreen I'm dipping toes into it. There's just something liberating in letting the colors take shape and form on the screen.
@LaurelGreen That is a great way to do it! I'd been dealing with a case of artist bock over the last few weeks, and it's been crumbling a bit over time as I tool around with the digital tools I have to my avail.
@PaganMother since covid (though I’m not sure why) I’ve been asking students to never ctrlz in these abstract experiments. To always accept what emerges, keep going. Following it myself too.
@PaganMother Truth! I’ve been using it in my classes as warmup activities, & carving out days where thats what we do. Sometimes I offer prompts (mental health, sel related) and students are into it.
