Expressing Emotions

Getting art students to break out of the box has always been a challenge. Hence, the task was to “not think and describe a line with emotions”.

So how does one describe a line without drawing a line?

(Below) You start of by designing your own tools in replacement of using the traditional flat and watercolor brushes. And then, just draw, splatter, splash etc. till you feel as though you have expressed your thoughts.

And you keep exploring and trying out new strokes and new effects. This is one of the methods used to discovering new ideas and exploring new techniques to painting.

If you are interested in trying it out, have a look at Jackson Pollock’s works to get inspired.

Welcome to Beamuse Designs— a creative space where curiosity meets intention. Here, ideas aren’t just shared; they are observed, interpreted and woven into stories that inform how we see, design and experience the world. Through reflective essays, visual explorations and design thinking, this site invites students, educators, makers and thoughtful wanderers to slow down, look again and think deeper about the connections between creativity, culture and practice.

Each post is a waypoint — a place to think, question and collect meaning — because good design starts with observation and ends with insight.
