 mind maps from flowing painterly forms

mind maps from flowing painterly forms

Using paint to create voluptuous forms can be a fun presentation method for students, as it allows them to ‘make art’ from the very first sketchbook page. A fast drying acrylic or water color paint is ideal. This approach is most appropriate when the forms and colors can be connected with the subject matter itself. Care should be taken to ensure that the resulting mind map is not overly distracting and disconnected visually from the remainder of the work.

Alternatively, you may wish to glue pieces directly into your sketchbook, or write onto the layered paper and then photograph the finished piece, as in the example above. The latter option has the advantage that pieces can be moved around and added to as needed.
