My Brooklyn Sketchbook Project Journal

Dear Wonderful, Artistic You:

I've been interested in cutouts and layering in my art journals for quite a while. It started with my class, Fluid Art, where I create tunnel journals. Soon I started using my cutouts as collage, as I teach in my new class with 21 Secrets, Papercuts. All of this got me hungry to do more serious paper cutting. I dedicated my Brooklyn Sketchbook Projection journal to practice paper cutting. It's been a ton of fun and I'm thrilled to share the procedure with you.

My Sketchbook Projection Journal with Newspaper Cutting

Here's i of the get-go pages I made in my Sketchbook Project Journal. It'south fun to play with opacity, and positive and negative space using newspaper cuts.

I also dearest when there's an interactive chemical element to my art journal pages. This page has fiddling stamens in the middle of the flower course. If you gently blow on them, they flutter. Isn't that fun?

This page had so many cuts! In that location were moments when I wasn't certain where this page was going or whether I'd like information technology, but I stuck with the process of post-obit one step to the next, and I dear the end product. So far I haven't drawn or planned out my pages, but created intuitively, following one cutting to the next. This folio had then many cut outs! It feels amazingly light. It's incredible how much weight came out of the page.

Another thing that fascinates me about paper cut journals are the shadows each page creates. Information technology's wonderful to encounter how each page changes as you turn the folio and lay downwards the next page on top of information technology.

Really, one of the most important elements to a rich fine art life is curiosity. I'm curious about how to create interesting shadows. I'm curious most how to combine layers of cut paper in interesting ways. I'grand curious about  layering cutting lines and holes. Finally, I'm interested to see how much paper I can take out of each sheet and take it notwithstanding hold together.
