Matisse/ Transition to Taste

Hand-painted paper
Matisse inspired collage
Collages made from scraps

Class work


Introduction to taste (sweet, savory, umami, bitter, and sour--lemon not pictured)


We disucssed the precise art of collages and how they can be extremely difficult. Using our own painted paper, we imitated Matisse's work to get a feel of how colors and shapes can balance each other. We experimented with flavor and wrote down reflections on how we respond to different tastes. Dr. Graham made us two kinds of cake that we savored slowly. We are going through the senses to become more aware and more present in our daily lives. 
How can being aware of your senses enhance your artwork? 
In what ways is meditation affecting your well-being? 

At home experimentation ;)
