TWELVTY evolves again: to include 3D Mixed Media Color Wheels.
the TWELVTY story
TWELVTY is a year long exploration of the color wheel: 12 colors in 12 months. It’s a deep dive into creativity. It’s an adventure. Twelvty began as a personal project. In 2012 I decided to create an art journal using just one color at a time for a whole year: The 12 colors of the color wheel, one each month.
When I was ready to revisit this idea, I adapted the project into an online program.
Joined by a group of artists and creatives from around the world, we all created our own variations of a 12 color project.
It was a real joy to share the adventure. I expected this to be a one-off… But TWELVTY had other plans for me.
It’s testament to how much fun we had that almost half the students rejoined for a second year full of color.
A new version of the program evolved, and inspired by the overstuffed art journals that preceding TWELVTY adventures had borne, this time I adapted the art journaling techniques into a way of creating a 3-d mixed media color wheel.
