Earlier this week I had an opportunity to spend a couple of days with high school students in Brooks, AB with the TREX program. I did a brief presentation with three senior high classes, had a question and answer session alongside the exhibit, and then the students took to canvas with their own abstractions using acrylic paint. Using drips as a starting point, the students made highly creative colourful works of Art. In some instances, the students were quite inventive, doing things that I hadn't thought of with this process. It was a stimulating and exciting couple of days!
Ok, so this is my latest creation... was thinking roots or dendrites or something of the sort... oh yah... and colour, colour, shape and line too of course!
This is a collaborative piece I worked on with a poet named Jeff Godin a few nights ago... we spent a few minutes discussing our pseudo-scientific approach to its structure and the process we would use as a creative springboard... then went mad with enthusiasm for a few hours! It will hopefully be a part of the Poet/Artist group exhibition at the Yates in Lethbridge in March of 2010.
