Mark Making: Abstract Art Prompt #3 is the third course in the mark-making series. We will continue to explore the role of various marks in the process of creating abstract pieces. Today’s class focuses on making somewhat uncontrolled marks using handmade tools.
Class includes 9 examples of simple tools, using everyday items, to create marks. We’ll alter, construct, and repurpose various objects and supplies to create unique implements that will be used to create intriguing layers in our paintings and mixed media pieces.
In addition to the nine lessons on creating tools, we’ll review Abstract Art Prompt #3, to inspire you to create artwork. This two-step prompt is an open-ended challenge, designed to offer additional experience practicing abstract art.
The class demonstration uses acrylic paints and collage, but the concepts can be transferred to other mediums. Course downloads include a class supply list, and Abstract Art Prompt #3, a thumbnail sketch sheet, and an illustrated class overview.
