A Tree For Courtney Acrylic Collage 3' x 4' by Cheryl Harris White |
My daughter wanted a large collage of a tree and one of her favorite poems by Robert Frost to decorate her bedroom. She wanted it to be whimsical. This video shows the steps as we progressed through the project. I painted the background and the basic sketch of the tree and she chose words from magazines that she liked. The words she chose were...
"Learn,A fresh start, Brilliant, Friends, New, Sport, Bloom, Green, Original, Unleash, Fairy tale, Sweet, Fresh, Dream, Love, Fun, Together, Life, Imagine, Your moment, Hearts on Fire, Adored, Rhapsody, Real," and of course, the poem itself. The tree is a collage of both scraps from magazine and dried acrylic paint. This was the result. Enjoy!
