These are some pieces belonging to Jen Stark. She is an American contemporary artist. She works with both wood and paper. I was really attracted to these because of the bright, vibrancy of colours.
These paper sculptures are by Richard Sweeney. They interested me because of their delicate nature and decorative style.
This sculpture is by Beatriz Milhazes. Again, she uses vibrant colours inspired by her native country, Brazil. Her interest in geometrical shapes is clear by this decorative sculpture. This intertwined well with the installations we made because we were thought to paint by looking at shape.
We created an installation of tables and easels to paint and to look at line. We did blind paintings, negative and positive paintings. We also painted with different items such as a credit card and kept in mind painting through erasure as well as composition and the layout of the page.
We also learned about mixing colour. The three primary colours, red, blue and yellow make brown. For the palette knife painting on Friday, we made three shades of black so I mixed white to two of the shades. It was my first time palette knife painting and I was determined to get used of the new environment.
I did thumbnail sketches to determine size, layout and composition. These are small, square paintings on card because a lot of paint is used for the palette knives.
The Installation:
It was made from random objects of different size, shape and surface material.
Lucian Freud Project.
I painted my impression on his work, 'Her Majesty, The Queen'. It was very interesting to look at the colours he mixed and the brushstrokes he used and trying to copy them.
