Today, we're diving into non-objective art. Can anyone tell me what this type of art means?
Is it art that doesn't show recognizable objects?
Exactly! Non-objective art focuses on elements like color and form to convey emotions. Let's remember this using the acronym 'COEF' – Color, Order, Emotion, Form. What does each letter stand for?
Color and Order!
Emotion and Form!
Great! By organizing these visual components, artists can evoke deep meanings. How do you think these elements could affect viewers' emotions?
I guess certain colors, like red, can make people feel angry or excited.
Perfect! That’s a clear connection. So remember COEF as we explore more.
Now, let's explore some historical movements like Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. Can anyone name an artist from either of these movements?
Pablo Picasso for Cubism!
And Jackson Pollock for Abstract Expressionism!
Exactly! Picasso's fragmented views and Pollock's action painting each convey abstraction in unique ways. Let's think about HOW they did this. For Pollock, his technique was all about expressiveness—do you think his size and scale mattered?
Yes! Larger pieces might feel more dramatic.
And they might draw more attention to the energy he used.
Absolutely! So understanding these historical contexts helps us appreciate modern uses of technology in art as well.
Today we’ll look at how technology has changed art. Can we name some techniques artists are using today?
Digital painting?
And generative art using algorithms!
Exactly! Artists like Refik Anadol use data visualization. To remember them, let's use the mnemonic 'DAGE' for Digital art, Algorithms, Generative art, and Expression. How does this shift traditional concepts of authorship?
It's less about individual craftsmanship and more about collaboration with technology.
And that raises questions about originality, right?
Very insightful! So keep DAGE in mind as we move forward with creating our own pieces.
Let’s transition to creating our own abstract art using materials today! What mediums do we have?
We have paints, pastels, and even digital tools!
Great! Each medium gives us different ways of exploring COEF. How might paint evoke different feelings than digital art?
Paint might feel more traditional or tactile, while digital work could feel smoother and more refined.
Digital also allows for easy edits!
Exactly! So, as you start creating, remember to reflect on the senses your work engages. What do you aim to express through your chosen media?
Art focusing on forms, colors, and lines rather than depicting real-world objects.
An avant-garde movement that breaks objects and images into geometric shapes.
An artistic movement known for expressive brushwork and vivid color.
Art created through algorithms and programmatic processes.
Abstraction's not a scene, it’s a feeling in between!
Imagine an artist who wakes up inside a painting. There are no trees or mountains – only colors swirling around. This artist learns to express emotions without showing what is real, finding freedom in abstraction.
Remember COEF for abstract art: Color, Order, Emotion, Form!
DAGE helps us remember: Digital art, Algorithms, Generative art, and Expression.

This section emphasizes the exploration of abstraction and visual systems in art, encouraging students to engage with various artistic media and the integration of technology in contemporary abstract art.
In this section, students delve into non-objective art, learning how visual elements, when organized into coherent visual systems, convey profound meaning and emotion without relying on explicit representation. The content covers the significance of addressing both historical and contemporary art movements, as well as practical application through various artistic media.
This section focuses on the exploration of materials and methods in the realm of abstraction and visual systems in art. The key concept involves understanding how various visual elements can communicate significant messages independently of literal representation. As part of this educational journey, students will:
