“Drawing with Scissors”• Choose a subject (What makes you happy?)• Start with a background (large, colourful sheets/shapes)• Theme - your ‘happy place’ (can start with ideas… list,
sketch, brainstorm, plan…)• Draw with scissors - Make it abstract; do not draw with pencil• Can use leftover scraps/paper too• Use patterns and create designs (repeat the same shape
more that once to create patterns)• Experiment with colours so they “…sing without paying
attention to rules and regulations.”) • Arrange first, then glue the shapes• Give your work a title
