I usually encourage college students to work in three drafts: first, second, and third draft, or as I generally name them, getting it down, fixing it up, and including particulars.

In in the present day’s Throwback Thursday you’ll see how I’ve used this e book for years to encourage each myself and my college students. When approaching a artistic endeavor step-by-step (or bird-by-bird as Lamott says), it permits the method to unfold with much less stress for rapid outcomes—understanding that you simply don’t want all of the solutions earlier than you even begin. For my cloth collage course of, we take it piece-by-piece.
It’s not too late to comply with together with me as I work by way of the drafts of my bug collage throughout my 4 session Fascinating Bugs and Butterflies on-line class.
