You can make multiple different types of shape art - with words and pictures.
Word-related shape art is frequently done by writing a poem or other verse type, and arranging the words so they are in the shape of the thing the poem is about, or something inspired by it. Make sure you pick the writing implements that are going to work best for you, or the thing you're writing about.
- Choose your media and surface.
- Use a large brush to paint large coloured shapes on your surface (of any colour).
- You can create them in isolation or overlap.
- Keeping this simple can create some very dramatic work for your home.
- Use this method to create backgrounds to frame your photographs, art, and other ephemera.
Keeping the first one in mind, you could choose some appropriate colours to create the second in so that they pair well in some way.
This can work in small scale - in a journal or small canvas/paper - as well as large.
