"Modern Art" began when artists began to depart from the natural appearance
of things
(realism)
and
imagine
new kinds
of expression.
Picasso
pioneered abstraction
methods
in 1907
and continued
with "cubism"
in one form
or
another
for decades
after.
Cubism
used some of the
methods which are
shown on this page.
Overlapping images
Simultaneous views
Faceting surfaces
Distortion and
exaggeration
Figure and Ground
experiementation
Breaking
up Spacial areas
is the modern art
approach to drawing
and painting.
Through abstraction
we become aware
that the
whole picture space
is important to
the visual whole.
Break up is the
first task of design.
The skilled artist
thinks about the
whole picture.
Each and every
square inch has
to be thought of
in respect to the
other parts.

Abstraction:
Basic Methods
Overlapped forms
produce spacial
areas
Repeat
Similar
Shapes or
Forms with
overlapping
Intersecting
Lines of
Symmetry
divide space
and penetrate
objects
Repeat
and Overlap
Shapes which
are Unlike
Feel
free to
Reinterpret
the shape
or Distort
the shape
Break up Space with a Figure and Background type of pattern.
(this means
that both
dark and
light areas
or shapes
are of equal
importantce.
This is
called a
Positive
- Negative
design.
Or Figure
and Field
Design.
Faceting
Faceting
is done
by using
more or
less strait
line segments
to interpret
the subject.
After drawing
segmented
countours
(edges)
one connects
the points
of the line
segments
together.
Finally
add tone
or color
to each
section
(or surface).
Color or
tone changes
as it moves
from one
side to
the other.
In the first
example
use see
the breakup
into faceted
areas, In
the second
you will
see how
color was
introduced
to produce
a cubistic
interpretation.
Picasso
and Bracque
used this
method in
the early
1900s as
they developed
Cubism.
They were
inspired
by Cezanne
and African
Sculpture.
