| "The Grey Area" -- Student Art in Black and White Gunter Grass, a German poet, novelist, playwright, sculptor and printmaker, made the following comment, "Art is accusation, expression, passion. Art is a fight to the finish between black charcoal and white paper." It's back to basics. With charcoal, pencils, pen and ink, Midland area art students explore the endless possibilities of a world that really can be "black and white." |
| Cross Culture -- "Abstractions" Click here.
"Abstract Art" is difficult to define, difficult to recognize and difficult to execute. Picasso said, "There is no abstract art. You must start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality." Here are examples of the process from students in Midland, Texas, and Nakatsugawa City in Japan. The points of view are certainly different, but the images are remarkably similar. We see in these students' work that we do, indeed, live in a global community. Even abstract concepts from a culture far removed from our own seem somehow familiar. |
