Creative Folk Art & Beyond Make cheerful folk art inspired by hygge. What is Hygge? Hygge is a Danish concept that loosely translates to feelings of coziness and contentment. It can represent a hot cup of tea on a chilly morning; a candlelit dinner with friends; or a warm, fuzzy sweater. Art can also convey hygge, which, when used as an adjective or adverb, is called 'hyggelig.' Symmetrical Composition Double the Fun! Try creating a composition that consists of animals and botanical images with a 'mirror' effect. Start with a standard-sized sheet of watercolor paper that you can draw and paint on. Fold in half. First, draw a motif only on the left side of the paper; then flip the paper to the other side. Use a light box or hold it up to a window and trace your drawing. Add color to complete your piece using watercolor, acrylic, marker, or whatever else you like! Painting a Pattern Use a pencil to draw some house shapes that you like, adding details such as windows, a door, and a chimney. Use your favorite art media (or several for a mixed-media look) to fill the house with bright color! It’s ok if that patterns don’t make 'sense' for a house. This is 'hygge' logic. Folk-Patterned Gift Tags Gift tags featuring folk-art patterns make a lovely handmade addition to any present. Use a variety of patterns, shapes, and favorite motifs to decorate and personalize your own gift tags. Nature Inspired Nature serves as an endless source of inspiration for many artists. From natural colors and patterns to shapes, animals, and flowers, there is always something to notice, learn from, and draw. Homespun Picture Puzzle Create your own puzzle featuring a beautiful piece of folk art! This puzzle is called a 'tangram,' and it consists of seven flat shapes. You can find wooden tangram puzzles for purchase online. The Creative and Beyond Series
