For this project I want you to work outside of the traditional rectangle or square format of your sketchbook or canvas. Choose something more unusual for your drawing/painting such as a circle, elongated rectangle, triangle or other non-traditional shape. The images shown are drawings and paintings taken from the book The Creative Artist by Nita Leland and are somewhat abstract but you could adapt this project to more representational imagery to suit your style.
Imagine some extremely creative approaches:
-Draw or paint on something 3-dimensional like a ball or other shaped object,( if you can find a surface that would accept your choice of media.)
-Draw on found paper like this coffee sleeve, or on a coaster, ticket, receipt, etc.
How about taking two or three shapes of different types of paper and attaching them together to form a truly inventive shape?
Maybe just trying drawing on a slightly different paper is enough of a departure for you?
If you are considering the circle format you may want to consider the Mandala
