Jackson Pollock studied with alongside Thomas Hart Benton during his early years in life when he attended the Art Students League. Pollock goes against Benton's work or representationalism and starts to look at works like Picassos and some Mexican Muralist. Pollock eventual joins one of the Mexican Muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros in his shop. You see Pollock start to sway into drip painting when he went to a native art show and dropped colored sand onto the ground and also seeing other artist like Arshile Gorky and Hans Hoffman. In the end he knew what art supplies created patterns and he would methodically splatter across canvas previously painted on to cover most of his work and only let some of it shine through the splatters her created.

Medium: paint on styrofoam

I choose this one because after listening to his history, it really hit me so I choose this as my original abstract this art was made by christ Riggs.

March 2021 → April 2022 Sketchbook Bound by hand with paper from the book “Oskar Kokoschka” by Bernhard Baltman. I found this book at a used book sale and have since been using the pages for sketchbooks. The book was originally published in 1961 in the UK, and at one point lived in the Baltimore Library.

Art Project

Create an ORIGINAL abstract, non-representational artwork. It can be a photograph, a drawing, a painting or digital art work. My advice: Use something as your inspiration – examples include a favorite memory, a song, an object you treasure, or someone that is important to you. Convey your meaning without using anything that represents something in “real” life (imagery). Your textbook has some great examples of abstract/non-representational art for inspiration.

I created this abstract, non-representational artwork to support pride month and the BLM movement. I made the background a rainbow to represent pride month. The black splatters across it is to support the BLM movement. These two social issues are important to me because many of the people in my life that mean the most to me are either a part of the black or gay community.

Original abstract

After watching the video New York 1951, we know that Jackson Pollock's artistic transition began under Thomas Hart Benton, whose teachings instilled in Pollock a sense of rhythm and dynamism. Pollock moved towards abstraction, influenced by Mexican muralists, surrealists, and the concept of "unconscious creativity". This led him to eliminate representational elements, focusing on the process of creation, a key tenet of Action Painting. His drip paintings emerged as a physical, dance-like interaction with his medium, transcending visual representation. The movie "Pollock" highlighted how his personal turmoil and the post-WWII era angst influenced his art. This raw emotion contributed to the birth of Abstract Expressionism. Thus, Pollock's evolution was a deliberate exploration of his psyche and the world, not an accident.

In the last year or so I’ve practiced refraining from posting art online when it’s new and fresh, to help keep my creations for myself first and foremost. I like sharing pictures online, but don’t want that to be the reason/drive behind why I create.

Recently I filled up a sketchbook, spanning from March 2021 to April 2022. I’ve loaded up a queue of posts sharing looks inside, kicking it off with these little watercolour birds 🐦 🐦

Writing, Thinking, and Looking Critically

I want you to see the artist Jackson Pollock at work and think deeply about the style of Abstract Expressionism/Action Painting. How did Jackson Pollock go from studying with Thomas Hart Benton and using abstract imagery in his paintings to removing all imagery in his famous “drip” paintings? This answer should be thoughtful and at least 6 sentences long. The only wrong answer? “It was an accident.” You must submit this part as a text entry or as a doc in the Assignment, as it will go through the turnitin service – but also post to your blog!!

After researching Jackson Pollock, I discovered that he participated in Jungian psychotherapy. This was an unconventional form of psychotherapy during this time period because it ventured further than strictly using the scientific method. Carl Jung used abstract things such as myths and dreams as empirical evidence. It is obvious just by looking at Pollock’s artwork that he also believes in this method of analyzing people. During the short video, Pollock said “We have machines to represent object. I want to use my paintings to depict what is inside of a person.”. Pollock wanted his drip paintings to show people what was inside of the human mind. I believe that contrary to popular belief, Pollock put a lot of thought and care into his paintings in order to do this.

🇺🇸 More random doodles. One day I was watching a thesis presentation in college with my class and one of my friends was barefoot. So there you go, realistic drawing training of that day. Plus a caricature of a teacher of mine. 🇧🇷 Mais rabiscos aleatórios. Um dia eu estava assistindo uma apresentação de TCC na faculdade com minha turma e um dos meus amigos estava descalço. Então aí está, o treinamento de desenho realista daquele dia. E uma caricatura de um professor. #sketch #esboço #doodle #rabisco #sketchbook #sketchbook4 #realisticdrawingtraining #realisticdrawing #figuredrawing #caricature #college #MmmMuitobomFezsozinho https://www.instagram.com/p/B7NIaT5J8Gl/?igshid=1tuvzjxvvr4fw
