ABSTRACTICA - An art project.

Sometimes, sitting back with your kids creativity opens up completely new ways of thinking. My son wanted to play with food coloring and water, and I thought hmmmm.... what will he come up with.

Knowing that oil and water don't mix, I tried something a bit different.

Using a small bowl, we put in some standard vegetable oil, then poured a bit of water on top. The water beaded on top of the oil of course, and James (my four year old) started designing his abstract masterpeices.

I shot macro shots of the designs, put together a composite, and voila.... ABSTRACTICA was born.
