This Thursday (9/10) we will be creating “pixelated” patterns in order to explore how various color combinations make us feel. This is a great way to explore color theory without having to use any academic language. Our girls will play with different patterns and color combinations on painted canvas boards in order to determine how different visual arrangements feel in their bodies. Does blue on green make you feel calm? Does yellow against purple make you feel excited? Do you like arranging the colors in an orderly fashion or do you like everything to be random? After they determine their preferences, they will adhere their arrangements together and adorn them with any additional marks they are inspired to make ❤️

Twice a month on Thursday night, Girls Art in Action meets in my studio. This week, we focused on how different types of marks make you feel different in your body and your mind. We started big — broad strokes, bold colors, the whole arm moving. Then we got quiet. More precise. More intentional. I never tell them what the project is supposed to mean. I just ask them how it feels. They always know.”

We built the neighbors-and neighborhood!-of our dreams❤️🌎 Using sticks gathered from my backyard, yarn and textiles in every color, googly eyes and found objects, our Girls Art In Action group created figures that are individually unique. Perhaps they are representations of themselves, or something entirely imaginary. No to are alike.
When we placed them together in front of our little village backdrop, something happened when different things are placed alongside each other with intention: a community appeared! This is what villages are built from. Not uniformity. Not agreement on everything. But the willingness to show up, take up space, and stand next to someone whose yarn is a completely different color than yours. Everyone belongs in the village!

Trust the Process
Last week, the girls didn’t know what they were making until it revealed itself.
They followed steps without seeing the destination. They made marks that looked like chaos before they became something beautiful. They learned that the mess is part of the process — not a mistake to fix, but a layer to build on.
This is true of art. It’s also true of growing up.
The next time they are in the middle of something hard and uncertain and not yet finished — I hope they will remember this project, and that they will remember that they trusted the process once, and something wonderful appeared.
