Artistic Vision
I originally thought that this was just going to end up a big mess and not really be as cool as it turned out to be. It was fun being covered in paint and just splattering it everywhere. I was excited about doing this since I have never threw paint around like that! It was a really fun experience, my work has no focal points whatsoever so its just based on what catches your eye first! :)
Techniques
I prepared the board before the painting stage by coating the board in Gesso which is a primer for painting. We laid out the tarps and then I went crazy with the paint.
I had started out by pouring out whatever paint I had access to, then i started using a ruler and twirling it around to create the circular lines that are on my work, I had also stepped on mine a couple times.
Pollock's Artistic Practice
Pollock did a lot of his work by using how he felt as a way to get the paint on the canvas, he used a lot of splattering of paint on the canvas as well as pouring, some people though Pollock was crazy because he was the first person to ever attempt to do anything such as what he has, using Pollock's methods were fun and new, it was really interesting to apply new methods to the ones I already knew which were painting with precision this is painting without precision. It was a really fun and new experience for me I enjoyed it a lot.
Becoming a human paint wipe :p
During the process of all the painting, I became the quickest way to get rid of paint on your hands, the other students started to wipe their hands all over me and I turned into a Pollock painting myself! :p As you can see from the other photo posted!
