Expressing Emotions

Getting art students to break out of the box has always been a challenge. Hence, the task was to “not think and describe a line with emotions”.

So how does one describe a line without drawing a line?

(Below) You start of by designing your own tools in replacement of using the traditional flat and watercolor brushes. And then, just draw, splatter, splash etc. till you feel as though you have expressed your thoughts.

And you keep exploring and trying out new strokes and new effects. This is one of the methods used to discovering new ideas and exploring new techniques to painting.

If you are interested in trying it out, have a look at Jackson Pollock’s works to get inspired.
