This week, due to my inability to go to Plaza art, I focused more on research for my project and planning for my art assignments. My favorite abstract artist at the moment is still Joan Mitchell. I have been focusing in the past on color blocks as my background rather than brush strokes and layering to create a larger shape. I am taking inspiration from these few pieces as my next work. To solve my problem of practicing layering, I have decided to make two piece to try to see how I can use my palette knife, layering techniques, and mark making to create my piece and maintain an interesting competition. I have yet to experiment with paint texture, and I think it is something I want to explore in my next paintings. More specifically, thinning paint to allow it to drip on the canvas. I think I'm going to avoid using thick paint because thick paint makes layering very difficult but thin paint can easily be covering if the experiment does not go well. I also have hid behind white in my past paintings, and I want to make my usage of white more deliberate regarding composition.
HOME PROJECT: I have not gotten pen to paper for this project either. I have decided to do the Geurilla Girls assignment 'The Art of Complaining' but thats the only confirmed idea I have so far. I did apply for the Guerrilla Girls workshop for Studio 23, hoping that it would aid me in this project and the opportunity to work with them would have been amazing, but I knew it was a long shot and I did not get in. While slightly sadden, it was expected. My ideas for 'complaining' are very large concepts because over the summer I became very passionate about different social issues. My ideas so far are comparison between girls over social media, censorship, and the connection of morals to politics. I want to display this in a flyer so I can combine the project with the 'Fake Flyer' assignment. I have not thought of a composition yet. My second art assignment is yet to be decided! I want to explore a different material but I am not sure exactly what yet.
