Matisse – Line to Design
Line crosses over itself creates form. Form is the beginning of design which is a combination of positive and negative shapes. Draw on paper a place you love (an interior or landscape) using outlines. Exaggerate, augment, and poeticize the forms, then transfer the drawing and paint it with a personalized passionate color.
Derain – Symbolized World
In your journal, write what you desire to transmit to the world via your work
Create an artist statement, then paint it. Your heart is the subject; what does it say? Say it.
Transmit from your core, from your beliefs. See what happen.
