Digital with splatter
Digital Painting without splatter paint
First draft
Objective Critique
The jackson pollock painting I picked is a monochromatic style painting using on skin tones and black very simplistic and unappealing. The pieces has a sense of scattered movement with no meaning behind each stroke or in this case splatter. In every art piece every stroke or movement in a piece should contribute to the piece itself this has no meaning but throwing paint on a canvas. The only principles of design that can be talked about with this piece is movement because there is nothing else to look at no lines, no meaning not structure to the piece.
Subjective Critique When I first looked at this piece I felt a sense of release let me explain why. The only time i splatter painted as a child was when i was angry or upset and I would just throw paint around just to have a release. Its like going shooting at the range or having a drink at a bar its just a sense of release form the daily stresses. This is the only way i could relate tot these pieces otherwise they were childish and lifeless. 1 Jackson Pollock was a big part of art at the time, but i don't understand how splattering paint onto a canvas is art a child can shatter paint, even an animal like an elephant can paint for details and thoughtful pieces. 2 I believe that most of his painting had no reason behind them and he just made something up after the fact to give the painting's meaning so he could sell his pieces. 3 most of his paintings are lifeless and unappealing to the eye the least he could have done was pick a better color pallet on most of his pieces.
I would change everything make the piece have meaning include some lifelike realistic qualities make it have a purpose to why the painting was painted in the first place. What i believe will do use the painting and create awareness for viriligo disease which is a skin condition that causes the lose of skin color in blotches. i would do this by using the on of jacksons paintings to represent the skin condition and show that you are still beautiful no matter what.
