satire in art

Pawel Kuczynski

After doing the above by playing around on photoshop I did a mind map of makeup trends as it relates to what i'm wanting to do.

firstly, I started off by looking into contour lines on the face.

below is a rough painting i did of a plain face with contour lines on it

Below is a tutorial about contour lines.

This iconic 1937 Will Connell photograph taken from his photo book “In Pictures” shows a man using a roller brush to paint on a woman’s makeup. The image lampoons the amount of makeup worn by Hollywood actresses!

Florian nicolle
i really like how florian works so i looked into a lot of his work, i really like how he uses newspaper behind her drawings/paintings
He layers scans of newspaper, ink, paint, and a fair amount of digital retouching

PHOTOSHOP 

 Didn't like these lips.

 played about and didn't like it.

 went back to my original idea with lips. and drew on contour lines

 added an extra eye and rubbed out around the eyebrow because it covered the eye.

 this is it before rubbing it out.

Peace room

I started off by making a variety of colours that I could use to splatter on paper. The artist that inspired me was jackson pollock I really like the way he works as its a mess but looks good. 

I started doing some experiments first,I started on white paper and used black as a base for the brighter colours on top to stand out in this I used black orange and grey. I really like these colours together as the orange stands out from the dull grey and black.the middle of the page you can see that the paint started to run i dont like this but it is where i had picked the paper up to move it and the colours ran.

After doing splatters I thought I would try and do something different so i used my wrist to make this strip of paint i did this by moving my wrist back and forth instead of using all of my arm. I prefer doing these lines of paint with little splatters as i dont like to fill the page with paint.But i dont like the colours together

DADA

Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven was a German-born avant-garde, Dadaist artist and poet. He influenced dada by suggesting the urinal to Duchamp.

Marcel Duchamp - He was a French-American painter, sculptor, chess player, and writer whose work is associated with Dadaism and conceptual art,

The Fountain:- It was voted as the iconic image of the 20th century and the most influential. Fountain was rejected by the committee, even though the rules stated that all works would be accepted from artists who paid the fee. Fountain was displayed and photographed at Alfred Stieglitz's studio, and the photo published in The Blind Man, but the original has been lost.

What is DADA? Dada was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. begun during first world war. Many claim Dada began in Zurich, Switzerland in 1916, spreading to Berlin shortly thereafter but the height of New York Dada was the year before, in 1915 Dada was an informal international movement, with participants in Europe and North America. Artists had their aim to destroy what art was and to create their one new style.

Founder of dada was an German writer called Hugo Ball
He led the Dada movement in Zürich, and is one of the people credited with naming the movement "Dada", by allegedly choosing the word at random from a dictionary.

Dada comes from the dictionary. It is terribly simple. In French it means "hobby horse". In German it means "good-bye", "Get off my back", "Be seeing you sometime". In Romanian: "Yes, indeed, you are right, that's it. But of course, yes, definitely, right". And so forth.

In 1916 Hugo founded a nightclub called cabaret voltaire it was used for political proposes and by artists

Below is an image of Hugo performing at cabaret voltaire

Alfred Jarry influenced dada and himself was very absurd in his work. The first and most famous of Alfred Jarry's Ubu plays is Ubu Roi or Ubu Rex.




Ubu Roi:-
Ubu Roi is a play by Alfred Jarry. It was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre de l’Œuvre, causing a riotous response in the audience as it opened and closed on December 10, 1896

abstract expressionism

Abstract expressionism was first used in Germany in connection with Russian artist Kandinsky in 1919. It later became commonly associated with post WWI American art and was influenced by surrealism an cubism. The first major American art movement.
There were two major groups within expressionism

Colour field painter:-
Artists used to search for a style of abstraction that might provide a modern, mythic art and express it. To achieve this they abandoned all suggestions of figuration and instead exploited the expressive power of color by deploying it in large fields that might envelope the viewer when seen at close quarters.

Gestural painters:-
This is where artists used to be energetic and expressive when doing brushstrokes deliberately emphasizing the sweep of the painter's arm or movement of the hand. Therfore, paintings will expresses the artist's emotions and personality just like a person's gestures reflect their feelings in everyday life. Gesturalism also emphasizes the physical act of painting itself, drawing attention to the "process of creating".

Artists don't give their work a name as it gives/shows an image the vast majority number them.
Also the canvas' started to get bigger
