Name Art


  • This is a simple way to inspire an abstract and tidy piece of art. Your name is the starting point. See where the process will take you. Spell your name but not in the traditional left to right sequence. Each letter must touch at varying angles but do not overlap the letters. Draw a frame around the cluster of letters and then make various color choices to fill in the shapes created by the name jumble. The beautiful picture above was made by Krystle Seu. She decided to add a curve at the end of each of her letters . It reminds me of latticework or calligraphy or delicate stained glass.
