There
has been another Art in the Forest workshop since my last blog post – but I
will save that till next time. I really want to show you what I’ve been up to
these last few days. Having taught myself how to use the Adobe Design Suite, a
session creating a digital image can vary from exasperating to very satisfying.
I can’t always remember how to do it, and sometimes the computer just says “no”
and we fall out. This week all went well. I drew the wellies of a dutch man
standing on 3000 years of peat and the bright sticky face of a sundew. The I
just converted these into digital images using Adobe Illustrator. This means
they can be blown up to enormous proportions without becoming all pixelated (by
the word“just” I mean - spent 2 days
hunched over the laptop). “Why? I hear
you ask. Well, once printed, kiddies will be able to measure their height in
peat age and then throw soft velcro coated fly-like objects at the sticky bits of
the sundew. Why else?
