Today was Brazosport Art League's first Saturday Art Special of 2010, featuring "aleatory painting", demo'd and taught by Kevin Cromwell. It was an intersting method, and really good for a chance to get "out of the box". Aleatory means "to gamble, depending on chance, luck, or contingency". In other words, this is a painting that depends on LUCK! :)
It was a lot of fun. We looked through magazines for beautiful colors and textures, collaged papers onto bristol board, found a figure, then pulled the figure out. Kevin's a fun teacher, and most of us got at least one painting we really liked. Talk about using the right brain--the left brain doesn't have a clue! It was a wondeful way to spend the day.
Thanks Kevin!
