Today in advanced painting, I illustrated to my students that a painting need not be created with paint to be considered a Painting.
Like working with acrylics or oils and one's subject matter,
a series of choices must occur —
selection of color, character, and composition,
to name a few. This doesn't change with the materials.

"Hanky Panky Painting"
up-cycled, re-purposed, and vintage hankies
12 x 16 oval canvas

The concept of painting is plastic. A small collection of dainty, tatted and crochet detailed squares are elevated from stuck-in-the purse-or-pocket swaths of cloth to another level: A Painting.
Tomorrow I donate this piece for the Essex Art Center "$25 wall"
to raise money for the EAC at the Hair of the Dog.

A great lesson for your students and a fun piece in its own right.
