Have you ever explored the concept of color healing? It involves using color via food, beverages, clothing, accessories, and art to lift your spirits. Each color has a specific meaning, which may vary for you. Here's what these hues mean to me:
Blue : Depth
Violet : Transformation
Pink : Softness
Red : Strength
Orange : Energy
Yellow : Luminosity
Green : Replenishment
Brown : Stability
Rainbow : Unity
Black : Detachment
White : Clarity
Now, let's combine color healing with collaging. Follow these steps:
Examine your state of being.
Close your eyes and imagine a few colors that come to mind. Do they match your mood? Do they bring a positive outlook?
Before you open your eyes, visualize a light, medium, and dark version of those soothing colors.
Open your eyes and find tissue papers that resemble those hues. You can use store-bought sheets or recycled paper from the holidays.
Tear or cut them into similarly shaped pieces but of varying sizes.
Place them on a white sturdy cardboard and move the shapes around until you like your composition. Overlapping pieces create depth.
Are your colors spread across the entire cardboard or concentrated in one section? Work with the concept of repetition, which allows the colors and shapes to travel through your collage. This will result in a balanced composition (see image below).
Once you are certain of your design, glue each piece with an acrylic medium (or dilute white glue in water).
Next, add a thin layer of medium throughout your collage. Let it dry and add another layer in the opposite direction (a vertical and a horizontal coat).
Frame your creation and gaze at it when in need of its healing properties.
I hope you will continue making color healing collages. Share your art experiences in the comments below.
