Inventing Abstraction

Abstract Art
Abstract art is using a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.

At a small age, he started make art on sand as it was popular in United States of America. At the age of 18, he moved to New York and joined the Art Students League to learn more different aspects of art. 

In art, we looked at a abstract art, we started on a table with a different tool. We had different music for each table, and using the music that was played in the background we made our art accordingly. After the music stops, we switch to a different table and repeat the same step. We used paint brushes, sketch pens, paper with colour, using glue on paper and using colour pencils. 


Serialism 
Serial art is an art movement in which uniform elements or objects were assembled in accordance with strict modular principles. The composition of serial art is a systematic process.

Art I created while attempting Serialism. 

So, first we took sheets of different colour paper and started cutting the paper into a shape that we decided on, I decided to use a right-angled triangle. Then we started applying the shapes on a paper, making patterns and in order, we kept on trying to develop new patterns, in the end I wasn't really satisfied with what I made, as in my opinion, didn't look great. In the end, I attempted to colour boxes, but it don't go according to my plan. I can take what I've in creating this art piece, and work on improving on my mistakes in the next art piece I make. 

Art Reflection 
At the start of the unit, we created some presentations on for an artist of our choice and also a composer. For my group, I had to research on Jackson Pollock, as he was an artist. Overall, I didn't find it too interesting, as the research wasn't exciting. On the other hand, we started working more on the art side, where we got to create our own art pieces, was very interesting, even though there was a bit of struggle along the way to finishing my Serialism art piece. The abstract was great because we were given freedom to do whatever we want, listening to soothing music, but had to use the materials that were given to us on each table, which was a great twist, and was a big reason why I enjoyed it.
