Artists are great masters of manipulating paints, shapes and materials, especially waste materials. If you feel an inner need to create something and at the same time get rid of unnecessary waste paper, stock up on paints, a frame and make a picture out of paper.
Instructions
Step 1
On a sheet of thick cardboard, for example, on one of the planes of a shoebox, draw with a pencil the outlines of the future drawing: landscape, still life, portrait, abstract ornament. Imagine all this in color.
Step 2
Tear old paper into small pieces and spread over several piles. Paint each pile in a specific color that you are going to use in the picture. Use gouache or watercolor paint.
Step 3
Spread the first piece of paper on one side with glue and attach it to the cardboard. Do the same with the others. Depending on the idea, you can stick the paper completely or only from one (top) edge. Stick the squares on top of each other or put them strictly side by side, like in a mosaic. The smaller the pieces, the brighter the play of shades will be, the more expressive the color transitions. But making such a picture will be more difficult.
Step 4
Cover the cardboard completely with colored squares. Cover the picture of paper with glass, insert into the frame.
