Tonight we will be continue discussing the relationship between "decision making" and abstraction. We will be discussing how your ability to make decisions concerning what will be included and what will be excluded in your work is a product of compartmentalization and abstraction. Inclusion/Exclusion is a type of "editing" is similar creatively to the decisions one makes when re-contextualizing images. As we start our newest drawings we will be appropriating images from the still-life and re-contextualizing them to develop an image based on your creative impulses and ideas.
This semester we will continue to discuss the nature of figure/ground and how your eye perceives boundary.
Below is a very thorough journal that describes how theories of figure/ground have been developed and how the mind perceives what it takes in through the eyes.
