'Entering DreamTime' - Create a Dot Artwork
Create a Dot Artwork
The invitation in this Creativity Prompt is to unfurl a Creation Story from DreamTime.
Aboriginal people understood the Dreamtime as a beginning that never ended. They held the belief that the Dreamtime is a period on a continuum of past, present and future that sprung forth from what was free from form, or life, void - empty.
In Malta there are ancient sleeping Goddess figures that go back to at least 11,500 BC - the belief is that the sleeping Goddesses may have represented oracles that would enter into Dreamtime and that initiates would serve the prophecies and direction of a higher frequency that came through the Dream.
For this Prompt- inspired by Aboriginal Art, you will be creating a dot painting that will act as a holder of space for your DreamTime deepening. Through this deeply meditative process of dot work you will find yourself connecting with the source of Creative power, for a new Dreaming inside of you to be made possible.
See the list below on what art supplies are required.
You can do this prompt on a small budget
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS CREATIVITY PROMPT
A small Canvas - or you could use a piece of wood, or other recyclable item. Let you imagination flow.
Black Gesso - (or just black acrylic paint on a pre-primed canvas or on your recyclable item)
3 or 4 colours in acrylic paint
Little pots for your paint
Liquitex Gloss Medium or any other brand gloss medium. This gives shine to the dots and creates a wonderful consistency of paint to dot with. If you are on a tight budget you can still create a piece without this.
3 or so different size round headed brushes (cheap ones or old ones are just great)
