Abstract Painting: breaking away from traditional representation of physical objects. It explores the relationships of forms and colors, loosely representing the objects being expressed.
Nonobjective Painting: no subject matter present beyond the colors, patterns, textures, and shapes used and expressed for their own sake.
PLEASE NOTE: People often get these terms mixed up or refer to Nonobjective Paintings as Abstract Paintings...but now you know the difference!
ASSIGNMENT:
After our discussion of Abstract and Nonobjective painting processes, you will be creating 4 paintings (2 abstract and 2 nonobjective) simultaneously using the long brushes attached to yardsticks. This will help you stay loose during the process.
1. Research examples of both kinds of painting.
2. Choose a subject matter for your abstract paintings.
3. Await instructions. Each day you will be painting a loosely directed layer on your nonobjective paintings and adding to your abstract paintings until all four are completed.
