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.
