Fine Art and Fashion Design Club
Students have been exploring different ways of making fashion illustrations using different media. They have also been making their own versions of contemporary abstract art, a broad and evolving field, which explores non-representational forms and techniques, emphasizing colour, shape, texture, and composition, often exploring emotions and concepts rather than depicting recognizable objects.
Key Characteristics of Abstract Art:
- Non-Representational:
Abstract art does not aim to depict the world realistically but instead uses lines, shapes, colours, and forms to create an expressive and often subjective experience.
- Emphasis on Form and Composition:
Artists focus on the visual elements within the artwork itself, such as colour, texture, and the arrangement of shapes, rather than replicating a scene or object.
- Emotional and Conceptual:
Abstract art can evoke strong emotions and explore complex ideas, allowing for a variety of interpretations and personal experiences.
- Freedom of Form and Interpretation:
Abstract art allows for a wide range of artistic expression and encourages viewers to engage with the artwork on a personal level.
