The Importance of Process
Abstract Art
On the Abstract Art painting assignment I gave my students, I feel that one of the most valuable concepts that was gained was the place that process has when creating an art project. The first image shows this student's completed art project. This student then pushed herself more and turned out a more complex work. The painting was intended to represent "Understanding" as the subject matter, with the blending of colors meshing together in a harmony that represented the differences that are separate but yet blend together. With her task of developing this painting more, this student added texture and sweeping brushstrokes. It had a new concept of "Understanding" come out with the added element of the physical layers of texture coming into play.
