THE CHAKRAS (A Visual Art challenge Series): FIRST
"Chakra" is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies the seven basic energy centers in the body. To me, it is the anatomy of our life force. Don't just scrap the chakra symbol but what this chakra is all about - its energy type, theme or subject matter.
The FIRST OR ROOT CHAKRA is our Foundation & Tribal Energy, our Life-affirming down-to-earth experiences. "I am grounded and centered - I have a right to be here." Location: Base of the Spine. Element: Earth. Color: Red (or Red with Brown and/or Black). Sense: Smell. It's about:
* The Right to be in this World.
* Physical Identity & Health.
* Awareness of & Connection with the body.
* Survival & Self-preservation.
* Security & Prosperity.
Challenge Requirements:
Scrap what this chakra is all about.
1) Don't just scrap its symbol, visually interpret one of its themes or subject matters.
2) Make its color the dominant color of your page. Pay attention to its element.
3) This is primarily a visual art challenge but you may include some journaling IN your scrap - in the form of titles, quotes, songs or poems.
NOTE: Remember that chakras are energy centers - make the most energetic, artistic page you can, and have fun!
