“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
