Fine Art – Traces

Image

For our fine art project we had to think of traces that can be left behind. My idea was the traces left on the art tables, for example paint marks. I thought these traces were interesting as it shows all the different colours and tones people have been using on their work and how the layers of paint have built up on the tables people have worked on.

I took many photo’s of traces on tables, then I re-created my photo’s with acrylic paint in my sketchbook. I then thought it might be interesting to try painting on different materials such as plastic and wood. I then decided I wanted to attach all my favorite studies together in an interesting way, so I drilled holes through the plastic and wood so that I could attach them together with screws.

I like how abstract it looks, with all the different shapes, colours and materials.
