Results from Cutting Up

Some results from our cut up paintings

This was a fun class. I wanted to post some of the results because they are each so different.

The main focus of this is to look at your paintings in a different light; then reassemble them using the basic elements of art to create focus and unity. You can use color, line, shape, texture, and movement to create harmony in your collage work. 

                                              

Vicki's: Still working on it, but it's a great start. She's also used some Brush-O too. I think the center of interest is very effective.

Emily's. Working on making purples More dominant. It has a light spring feel, super fun to look at.

Carol hasn't glued hers down yet. She framed each square with some print scrapbook paper. That was a very effective way to create harmony.  Then used a punch to cut hearts out to bring it all together. Perfect for the granddaughter's room.

Francis---I love the moons pulling it all together with repeated shapes and colors. And it's good to cross over the boundary of each square to add more interest.

Mary: Making a "window" effect. More realistic. Not finished yet,

but a great start. And a good way to take some muted colors and

make them into a picture.

Sylvia's: not finished, but it has a wonderful fall feel. Makes me feel like

I'm camping in the woods.

Judy: Tied a lot together with some gold stenciling. Almost done.

Barb did hers at home. The green dominance and the gold make it very unified

and fun to look at.

Mine--I still have some work to tie it together. Prob going to use some bits of collage. But liking it. Got to break up that black square a bit and find some way to connect things without getting too busy.
