    The document discusses abstract art and how it uses visual elements like shape, form, color and line rather than realistic imagery to create compositions, noting that abstract art aims to draw from life experiences and the imagination; it provides examples of abstract works and artists like Piet Mondrian to show how his art simplified forms over time and became more abstract; and it offers tips for creating abstract art using geometric and organic shapes balanced through rules of composition.

    The presentation provides an overview of abstract art and aims to help viewers appreciate it more by learning to look at compositions and the elements used rather than searching for recognizable objects or scenes.

    Abstract art uses visual elements like shape, color, line and form to create a composition without depicting realistic images. It can be inspired by life experiences or the imagination. Abstract art may include recognizable elements but in altered, non-realistic ways. Non-objective abstract art has no recognizable subject matter.

    Mondrian's early work depicted landscapes in a realistic style that evolved to emphasize lines and planes through Cubist influences. His compositions then simplified to primary colors and black/white rectangular forms. He was inspired by Neo-Plastic principles of balance, rhythm and universality.

    ARTIST: Piet Mondrian,

    The Gray Tree exemplifies Mondrian's early transition


    toward abstraction, and his application of Cubist
    principles to represent the landscape. The three-
    dimensional tree has been reduced to lines and planes
    using a limited palette of grays and black.

    appeared,
    many people
    had difficulty

    struggled to
    accept it as

    People were use to seeing paintings that had clear

    and found

    images?
    Simply sit back close your eyes, relax
    slowly open them and just stare at the artwork.
    Dont think just stare
    Ask yourself what do you feel? Is it sad,
    happy, agitated etc.
    What colors do you see?
    What shapes?
    How does your eye flow over the composition?
    Lets look again at some
    samples of Abstract Art
    No. 61 (Rust and Blue), 1953
    Artist: Rothko
    Objective & Non Objective
    1. Objective artwork with recognizable
    images. Based on Realism

    1. Non-objective artwork with no


    recognizable images- nothing realistic

    recognizable images.
    Based on Realism
    You can identify
    shapes
    Images are just

    distorted.
    Picasso, Head, 1960
    NON-OJECTIVE ABTRACT ART

    no recognizable
    subject matter
    Not meant to be
    anything at all.

    Modern Art, NY.
    1. Fold paper
    into
    sections.
    2. Divide
    section of
    the paper
    into rule of
    thirds.
    1. Fold paper in 4
    sections.
    2. Divide each of the 4
    sections by lightly
    drawing the rule of
    thirds.
    3. Place most
    important larger
    shapes near the
    intersections.
    It divides the
    paper into equal
    sections so you
    can place drawn
    objects in the
    right areas to
    gain a better
    composition.
    Without using it
    your work will look
    unplanned and
    not balanced.
    Directions

    1. Use geometric and


    organic shapes.
    2. Stay away from
    singular lines that
    dont connect to
    make shapes.
    3. Place shapes in
    every third to
    balance out your
    composition.
    4. Small, medium and
    large size shapes
    Directions

    DESIGN IDEAS
    Tryto Use Variety: different shapes together.
    Tryto Use Unity: Similar shapes used
    together.
    Run shapes off the edge of the paper.
    Overlap shapes
    Dont make it too simple-you will have too
    many large shapes to shape.
    Dont go crazy busy with overlapping or
    using too many shapes. Too difficult to shade.
