Scribbles as a Process for Play in Art

Описание: Scribbles aren’t just warm-ups—they’re powerful tools for play, movement, and creative freedom. In this Monday Marks Vlog, I’m exploring the joy of scribbles and how to turn loose, intuitive marks into intentional mixed media collage elements.

You’ll see how I draw simple black-and-white scribbles, scan them into the Brother ScanNCut, and cut them from my own hand-painted papers to use as expressive collage shapes. This process is perfect for mixed media artists looking to loosen up, work intuitively, and bring more energy into their compositions.

Whether you’re feeling stuck or simply craving more play in your practice, scribbles offer a low-pressure way to begin—and often lead somewhere unexpected.

A list of all materials and tools can be found on my website under the Monday Marks Vlog.
