Above is my cookie sheet after baking a couple of juicy pies. This would be referred to as found art.
Next is a legitimate abstract created on iPad with Apple Pencil–no planning.
This is a carefully planned abstract composition with shapes and lines carefully plotted out and related to each other. There is no purpose to this layout, but It has a definite chart-like feeling. It reminds me of Saul Steinberg’s document paintings that look real, but are not.
This is an abstract with a loose feeling of structure. it was not carefully plotted in any way. I remember feeling a sense of fun as I made random shapes all over the screen–the feeling was like squirting paint. Any tendency toward order you may notice, would be due to ingrained design training on my part.
Here’s an extra abstract–just because. . . (As I was doing this post, I ran across it in my my sketchbook and couldn’t resist a good scribble.)
