Thoughts and Insights From the Mind and Soul | LMAC Collage FreeStyle No. 82

Apophysis-LMAC-FreeStyle-No82.jpg

Each week, the LMAC Community run by @shaka holds a collage contest round for its members to participate. In the Community, you'll discover a variety of themed contest entries submitted for consideration in the contest. Hopefuls anxiously await result indicating where their creative collage scenes will be chosen for the final round of competition. If you'd like to participate, just visit the LMAC Community account here for details on the latest contest.

The LMAC Community also offers an opportunity for members to create "freestyle" collage themes and post to the Community. In the freestyle option, you have more freedom to design your creations without having to incorporate the weekly contest photo. You still, however, have rules in which you must abide by when posting to the Community.

For my Freestyle Collage No. 82, my theme is adventure of the mind and soul.

When we examine philosophical viewpoints from the greatest thinkers in history, we must include in that group of individuals Socrates and Plato. These Greek philosopher helped shape Western culture. But we should never forget the female great thinkers of our times. One of them I mention is Mary Wollstonecraft who authored "A Vindication of the Rights of Women". She also fought for women's rights. Mary died in childbirth, but her daughter survived.

Her daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, gave us Frankenstein. One of the most memorable quotes from this epic book that I love is "Beware, for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."

In preparing my theme, I decided to venture into the realm of female thinking. For an example of the female, I chose a free-sourced unusual image of a woman with a tree tattoo on her back. Other images include my pure fractal that resembles an abstract image. To take the female out of this world, I added an image that depicts the universe. Below are the images I included to complete my theme:

When compiling my freestyle collage design, I upload images to Canva. I utilize Canva as my design program to blend my images. Below are the procedures I use that incorporate the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

To a blank, white canvas, I added my pure fractal that resembled an abstract image.

Changed canvas background to black. Duplicated the fractal, then positioned the parts on four sides. Decided to colorize each section for texture and variety. The last element was a create a space displaying the black canvas background.

Would you believe that today is my first hearing of some female great thinkers that you have mentioned. Should I say that they are not being recognized?
I wonder why the likes of Aristotle and Plato are always the popular ones

In all of history @rafzat women and certain groups' contribution to society have always been downplayed.

Thanks so much for your visit. I appreciate your engagement.

It was inspiring for me learning about women in ancient times that propelled critical thinking. I was happy to share it. And you images at the #LIL are always there to help spread the visual message.

Thanks so much for your visit and kind compliment. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.
