๐ŸŽจ Kelly Brinkmann -Art & Souls
I am sharing some phone wallpaper this week as am I am sharing some phone wallpaper this week as am I wading through all the ways God has given me a firm place to stand. . Hi ๐Ÿ‘‹Iโ€™m Kelly Brinkmann and Iโ€™m the artist and owner of Art & Souls Creative Studio. I teach art classes in #washmo . I love to get my hands elbow-deep into clay work because it reminds me of how God is at work molding me and making me each day. When I first trusted Jesus with life some 20 years ago, he gave me a firm place to stand. Suddenly, my purpose was clear and my faith unfolded each step of the way. The hope, joy, and gratitude I felt then is something I still share with people I meet in classes or in daily living today. I am a pro speaker ๐ŸŽค and interactive potter sharing live-wheel thrown pottery while speaking to groups around the country, but you can catch more of that at @officialkellybrinkmann . Thanks for popping by my studio. Drop me a comment or send me a DM to tell me what you are thankful for this week. ๐Ÿค— . . #gratitude #thanks . Art & Souls Creative Studio | Encouraging Creativity

Have you ever had one of those days when things fe Have you ever had one of those days when things feel just a bit off? Today is one of those days for me. Itโ€™s probably represented best in my broken pair of sunglasses on a 75ยฐ day in December and what it supposed to be winter day. . In the studio, I finally have the time to sit down and make mugs, and yet I could not throw them for the life of me. Iโ€™ve been a potter for 25 years and probably made over 1000 mugs, but today the connection between my head and my hands is a bit off. . You may see 9 completely thrown mugs awaiting handles in the photo, but what you donโ€™t see is the 6 that I destroyed in the process to make the mugs. . I have too much on my mind today and too many details swimming in preparation for Christmas and details to be fully present while throwing on the pottery wheel. . Wheel-thrown pottery requires my full concentration - - it reveals what is going on in my head and my heart. . The time I spend in prayer requires the same kind of focus. If Iโ€™m distracted (is: making my grocery list) while seeking the Lordโ€˜s advice, I fall flat on my face. In order for prayer to be restorative and connect me to the heart of God, I have to be in a quiet place that is full of margin and peace. . What does today look like for you? Are you longing for peace and rest? . . . My prayer is that you will experience peace today in the quietness of prayer between you and our Father. . . .

I am reading a book about artists to students and I am reading a book about artists to students and it mentioned Alberto Giacometti, a Swiss sculptor and artist in the 1920s. His tall, wiry human forms became his signature work. Minimalist in form, they convey a great deal of emotion about the human experience. . Looking closely at the forms, You can see subtle nuances about each character. The tilt of the head, gesture of hands and arms quickly tells the story of the character. . ๐ŸŽจ Make art (mess free!) with us today. Explore this project by grabbing a 12 to 15 inch long piece of aluminum foil and forming a head at one end of the sheet. Rip a โ€˜Vโ€™ shape to create the armpit area for limbs and keep shaping down the sheet to form the body. Rip the remaining foil at the bottom up the middle in a vertical line to create two sections for legs and flat feet. Set your figure on a ledge and try to make it sit up on its own. . Pay attention to the subtle gestures, jawline, direction of its gaze, the slump of the back, the lift of the hand and all the small details to add expression to your figure. . Itโ€™s a good day to reflect on your week and to ask your kids about their week when you make this project. . Using gestures alone, what is your figure saying? . What emotions is it feeling and sharing today? . . . . ๐ŸŽจ Local art classes for creative kids and smart mamas at ArtAndSouls.com/classes . #hope #giacometti #washmo
