In my class, we're doing a project called "form to abstraction". I started with a still life of a phone, and this is the first of 12 drawings in which I have to make the phone even more and more abstract. By the end, it should look a lot more like this:
But yeah, unlike what I originally thought, an artist doesn't just put a bunch of lines and colors on a canvas and call it "art." I've learned that they actually go through a process, by starting with one image (like a tree) and ending up with something completely different (like the piece by Piet Mondrian above).
So yeah... there's your art lesson of the day!
that's gonna look so friggin sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhen we first started this project and I was drawing, I had an epiphany. One of those "So THAT'S why I'm here" moments! It was amazing!! I'll post the final one when I finish it, I have to do 4 more by this friday. :D
