Art Movement Project Update #3 : Idea Reviewed

Some of us we're early today, so why not have brunch first. After brunch, we went inside the studio for Ms. Lisa to review our plans for the Art Movement Project. We had to bring at least 6 sketches and show it to Ms. Lisa. So here are some of the sketches that I made:


First off I will be using wood as my canvas. Both sides of the wood will be painted. It would be like an inside-out mirror. With one side of the painting would be a standard De Stijl painting with its use of horizontal and vertical lines, and primary colours (red, blue, and yellow). Whereas the other side will be given a more contemporary(modern) take on De Stijl. 


This is the standard De Stijl painting that I have sketched out for one side of the wood. I have labelled the colours that I'll be using for this side's painting

For the other side of the wood:

The first sketch is just a mirrored version of the standard painting. Instead of using primary colours, I wanted to opt the secondary colours (green, orange, violet) for this painting giving  it a different look and feel compared to the previous painting.

The next sketch, is me trying to transfigure the portrait even more by separating some of the elements from each other to make a more deconstructed version of the mirrored portrait. The colours would be the same as the mirrored version which are the secondary colours. 

This last sketch is taking the mirrored version of the portrait and abolish it's structure so that each elements stand on its own. I haven't picked the colours yet but I would most propably use the secondary colours as well. 

Verdict:
Ms. Lisa agreed with my plans to use wood as my canvas and do the mirrored thingy that I wanted to do. But............
She advised me to not over-complicate the painting abd keep the execution simple. Her advise was instead of just using the secondary colours for the mirrored version, I should try out different colour combinations. It can be monochrome, secondary colours, tertiary colours, or any colour combinations that suits the painting. So look forward to my next update where I'll show the different colour combinations that I'll use for my painting
