Thinking like an artist-on holiday!

What did you see and find over spring break? Did the artist in you find inspiration in the places you visited or find time to use your creativity to make something? Here's a peak into my creative moments and details thinking like an artist in Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur! Love the colors, architecture, patterns, nature and designs I saw everywhere I went from the new Mumbai airport to the modern and very unique city scape in Shanghai to the designs in food and buildings in KL. I am always inspired in new ways when I visit new places and this week was no exception..these concepts might begin appearing in my artwork soon! Share what you saw and did to keep thinking like an artist in break!

Sea shells by the sea shore!

Last weekend Coach Dax and I spent some time on the beach. As an artist- I find the sea to be such a source of inspiration- from the fresh air, sound of the waves and beautiful sunsets reflecting in the water. 

However though I love spending time walking near the sea my eyes are usually looking down at my feet- scanning the amazing variety of sea shells! This weekend was no different- the unique patterns colors and shapes of shells is really incredible! I used my camera to snap some shots of the beautiful array of shells as a means of tapping into my creativity. I played around with sorting them by pattern color as size and photographed different arrangements. I can't help but think like an artist everywhere I go! 

Where do you find inspiration? In nature? At the beach? So you have any collections you could sort and photograph? Take a close look around everywhere you go :)

Creative moments!

Found plenty of inspiration this week in Goa! What did you do, see, or make that got you thinking like an artist over fall break?! 

Artists MIA!?

Where have all the artists gone?!  It's been two months since we've had a blog update and in that time we've been printing, recycling, building, painting, smudging pastels, drawing, studying artists... and enjoying some holidays! Time to wake our blog back up and share what we've been up to!  Mrs. G spent the holidays with Coach Dax and their family in the UK and had a chance to see so many famous pieces of art! 

  

They visited the Louvre, Musee de Or'say, Dali Exhibitions, contemporary art galleries, impressionist paintings and so much more in London, Paris, and Brussels!

Back in Bombay the annual Kala Ghoda Arts Festival took place celebrating dance, theater, music, and fine art in India.  Where have YOU seen art with your family lately?!
