The two pieces of art here are examples of my last directive with the sensory-oriented group. It started with the goal of creating a textured landscape and leftover pieces of window treatments. From there I determined that the group would make waterfalls, using sponges to apply a little blue and white tempera paint down the center. "Foam" was added to the bottom of the waterfalls, which was that stuff you use to make tutus. Then I found some rainbow yarn and thin, plastic-coated wire for the abstract rainbow formations. The last steps were to add some fluffy clouds - dryer sheets - and a growing vine. The green part was twisty paper and the brown twig part was flexible wire. The waterfall, or window treatment part, had full movement and was only taped onto the cardboard backing on the top and on the bottom. There were many textural and visual elements to this waterfall directive. Many odd materials may be used for a nature scene.
