For Project 1, I thought having texts, words, paragraphs from a book page as a background would be interesting. I am one who is attracted to prints and patterns thus I find that the paragraphs on a book page falls under that category as well.
With that, the one artist I know that has done these type of art work would be Sol LeWitt. Examples of his work shown below:
Extracted from site: “From the Word “Art”: Blue Lines to Four Corners, Green Lines to Four Sides, and Red Lines Between the Words “Art” on the Printed Page, 1972. Colored ink and pencil on paper. LeWitt Collection”
Besides Sol LeWitt’s, these are some of the research from Pinterest:
Basically these 2 are those that circles some words within the page for some hidden meanings or poems that they come up on the spot or etc.
I find them interesting and considered doing something like this, with doodles around the page.
This image uses water colour on the book page. Perhaps I could use markers replacing the water colour?
Or maybe something detailed as these…
And then I came across these beautiful eye-catching art/designs of Zentangle:
Perhaps, the negative space being the alphabet/initial(s) of my name?
