Ideas Generation: The Martians Have Landed RE-ASSESMENT
Idea of this post is to draw ideas of my project and explain what I want to do but i can not use any words to explain this.
Here is my explanation:
to create this poster I was trying to use lot of colours like sky in the painting 'The Scream'. I wanted my painting to be distorted, exaggerated and primitive. Because, Expressionism is mostly about feelings and show the artist's own sensibility to the world's representation, I was trying to shaw what colours I see and recreate the picture in my way of 'seeing' it.
However, looking at that outcome I think that it is not exactly what I wanted to achieve. I do not hate it, however I thing that it could be improve to looks more like in style of the expressionism.
Creating this outcome I was inspired by work of Wassily Kandinsky 'Street with Women'. Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. He was more known as an abstract painter, however he also was a leading exponent of Expressionism.
In this painting I really liked the way he used the colours. I wanted to use similar technique in my artwork as well.



Have you thought about making posters for fictional movies? Part of your project could be to invent a series of your own expressionist films - so you invent the director, the title, the story behind the film and then develop a package of designs for a franchise of films or a package to promote a single film.
ReplyDeleteAdd some text to what you were doing here with the images above and how it fits into your theme. Also, I am not absolutely sure the last image is 'expressionist' - as in my comment for the last post, look at the Expressionist art movement for a better idea of the VISUAL style.
