  1. Semi-Abstraction to Abstraction – A Continuum Mrs. Fox – Fall 2012

  2. Semi-Abstraction • style of painting or sculpture in which the subject remains recognizable although the forms are highly stylized in a manner derived from abstract art. • “Representational” in style – still “looks like something”

  3. Abstraction • No preconceived idea or recognize-able subject (not representational) • Does not relate to anything external or try to "look like" something. • FOCUS is on Elements and Principles of Design – (Line, shape, color, texture, form, value, space)

  4. Aesthetic Objective • Abstract Art is more than just a randomized mess flung onto canvas • Abstract Art represents what is being felton the inside rather than what is being seen on the outside. • A strong piece of art is able to grab your attention and pull an emotional response from within • This is the artist’s plan to keep your mind thinking, analyzing and keeping your eyes moving through the artwork

  5. How do I tell the difference between Partial and Total abstraction? • Abstraction exists along a continuum, from partial abstraction to full non-objective abstraction • Partial Abstraction: Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous • Total abstraction: bears no resemblance to anything recognizable – just shapes, colors, lines, etc.
