| Paper - Squiggle Project #2 |
It was reinforced through this project that the type of paper and the fibers in the paper make a difference on the ease or difficulty in tearing the paper while keeping to the nature of the squiggles. It also effects the final look of the project.
As I finished this project, I was reminded of my love of the work created by one of my favorite artists, Henri Matisse - specifically his paper cut outs. I love the way he used color and organic shapes to create amazing pieces of abstract art. Matisse called this paper cut-out process "painting with scissors". He would cut out designs from paper, saving the cut outs and the scraps, and then pinning them to the wall. Once the design was complete it was then glued to paper, canvas or board to create the finished piece.
As I mentioned on the previous post - I may need to explore this more. Possibly with larger paper or multiple pieces of paper (different colors) linked together and maybe even using scissors instead of tearing the paper.
