Day 4

Our last week's discussing continued, we continued with 'what art is' we also discussed how Art is a relationship.
We started exploring different kinds of art practices, last week we learnt about performance art and performed as well, this week while we continued our discussion and a new question was raised- what is conceptual art?

So, our facilitator divided us into 3 groups and asked us to research about:
a) conceptual art
b) pop art
c) minimalism

During group research i realised these terms are not just about the genre of art, but how the particular genre has evolved with time. for example how minimalism was an art movement against art movement, but now its become a way of doing art where do art minimally, cause abstract art can be minimalistic. we also discussed how something minimal does not have to be simple but can combine to be complex.
After our class discussions we were asked to create conceptual art, pop art and abstract expressionism.

I got abstract expressionism, my group consisted of Nehal Vyas, Anahita Ganjoo and Priyank. so whatever we understood of abstract expressionism we tried to transfer that into our art piece, and to support that i we added a short note.

our work :

Concept note

This piece of art depicts the most common of the problems faced in life. Making decision based on the current situation. The husk can be seen as the state of our minds. Just like its texture, it’s chaotic and wavering.
The shift in shadow depicts situations that we can contemplate. The wind can be seen as spontaneous events that spring up in our lives randomly. The combination of both these forces bring about a disturbance in our so-called ‘plans’. The empty spaces between the mud signify how void our plans feel retrospectively because we poured the mud in reference to the husk’s past position.
