Composition Design for Abstract Art

Composition Design for Abstract Art

“You have reached the end of the course. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here sharing this experience with me. As a course project you will have to make a hand-painted piece in an abstract modernist style. Let me show you an example of how I would like to see your project: Inspiration For starters, hit the streets for inspiration. If possible, go to places where you can find different colors, textures, and shapes. Take the photographs you consider necessary and return home.

The mood board Use the photographs you took to create your mood board, you can also add images from the internet that go with the style you are looking for. Also, create the color palette you would like to use in your piece based on the mood board. The sketch Based on the mood board, make several sketches quickly, also add notes about textures and sensations that relate to them. Once you have a wide variety, pick one and keep it simple. The digital sketch Using the tool of your choice, digitize the sketch to get a stronger idea of what your final piece will look like. The strokes and the painting Trace your sketch on the base you are going to paint, you can do it intuitively or using tools such as a projector so that the traced design is identical to the sketch. He then begins to mix the paints until the tones match the digital color. Then start painting your piece. Do not forget to start with light colors and with a thin layer that allows you to work more easily with the following ones. The final details Finally, make the final brush strokes to outline and define the details of your piece. When you are carrying out the project, remember that you are not just making a painting of a certain style, but you are creating art. Make sure you are making a piece that manages to convey the message you want in a simple way. It is important that you make a piece that is 100% yours. Remember, while art requires perceptual structures and processes, don't be afraid to break the rules in a clever way to imprint your own style on your pieces. Keep in mind that this is a world that should always be explored and practiced. Dare to explore your own mind and you will realize how unique that place is! Once your project is ready, click “Create Project” and share it on the forum. I will be waiting to see what you have created and will give you feedback as soon as possible. While you wait, I invite you to share tips and feedback with your classmates. Don't forget that a big part of the world of art and design is its community. See you on the forum!”

“Final Project Friends, we have reached the end of the course. I know that we often think of abstract art as something totally unexpected and random. I hope I was able to express correctly this whole other part of abstract art that is not spoken of, including structures, functionality, having a clear message that’s conveyed effectively to our clients, to our followers, to our buyers and collectors. With all my heart, thank you very much for being here. I think it's quite common to realize when visiting a museum or art gallery that the pieces have a long piece of text that explains the piece ...”
