Expressive Painting
After seeing people painting to express their anger during
the support groups while using the rule don’t paint with a brush. I tried to
reproduce this experiment but I changed the rule to become different things.
The reason I chose to do this was because I felt that this experiment catered
towards both anger and expression. I wanted to make sure that I focused on
making a rule on this experiment because the original had a rule on it to start
with. The thing that works for this experiment is the fact that it is a pure
form of expression and a way to show anger with allot of flexibility. The thing
that doesn't work is not everyone is able to express them selves through
painting but after a while people can try. The thing I would change next time
would be to try to break some rules I had made.
The way I was painting was very different from the way the people in the support groups painted, they did more aggressive looking strokes when they put their anger into their painting. My work by comparison is rather calm by comparison, this must be because I see anger in a different way than most people. I think that this is my most powerful research result because it takes both my words fully, it fits with my manifesto and expressive art comes from your own personal context (how you see the world around you)
Rule: only use red and black strokes
Rule: keep your brush moving for 5 minutes
Rule: you can only use splotches of colour, no strokes
