Painting is the art of using a pigmented medium to create a picture of reality filtered through the imagination, the senses, emotions, and life experience. Artists the world over have multiplied the uses of painting as a vital mode of human expression, whether recording history, retelling myth and legend, expressing religious fervor, or exploring the unknown. From early history to the present, we have records of men and women making graphic representations of their world, showing their understanding and their curiosity.
In this series of free online video art lessons you'll learn how to create an abstract painting for your home. Expert David A. Clemen shows how line, form, shape and space come into play when planning a painting. You'll learn tips on using texture, color, and proportion to add emphasis to certain parts of a painting, and how these design elements can add movement and create a sense of unity in your works of art.
"DAVID CLEMEN: Hi. I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. And today, we're going to do an abstract painting. Hi. Welcome back. Today, we're going to do an abstract painting, and it took me a long time to figure out what an abstract painting was, but I've kinda found through different experiments with paintings and so forth that it's really an expression that you can do pretty much, with any paint and color. It's not so much about form; it's really about just expressing yourself with colors and shapes and things like that. This is an example of one of my abstract paintings. I did this a few years ago when I first moved to North Carolina, and I guess the colors kinda represent the ocean because we're near the ocean here and you know. So basically, what I'm going to show you today is a couple of the different tools that you can use to make a beautiful abstract painting that would go nicely in your home."
