ArtsThe Art of Mark Making in Abstract Art
It is my hope that artists will share ABSTRACT original Fine artwork in a variety of media and applications in which the lines, marks, textures, patterns unique brush strokes, lettering etc.are key to the artwork and stand out as the prominent organizing element in the work or as an important critical feature. Mark making can be freely expressed and gestural or more controlled and deliberate in the work. Completed artwork should show how the marks and lines demonstrate the qualities of good design.
Abstract Expressionist styles where paint is splashed, poured, dribbled, smeared etc. will need to also show clear evidence of marks, lines, strokes in an organized composition or in progress with this goal. This group focuses on Abstract and Non Objective artwork. Illustrations, decorative drawing and crafts, photography, digital, sculpture, ceramics are not the scope of this group. This is foremost a Mark Making Group with expectations of good design.
Group facilitator(s) reserve the right to curate artwork shown in this group. Not all abstract work will fit into the group category of Abstract Mark Making.
Artists are encouraged to share innovative Mark making techniques, tools, works in progress, completed works, product information, critique discussions, exhibits, shows, articles, videos that are important to abstract mark making.
Posts that seem not to be relevant to the goals of the group may be deleted. To keep the site organized and tidy and not become an out of control bulletin board, some announcements may need to be removed.
Images of artwork should be photographed well which means good lighting, clear and easy to see. Poor quality images may be deleted. Work should be shown close up and not altered in a room setting.
Please post no more than 2 images in a day.
You may link your artwork to your website , but this group is not to be used for selling, advertising, promotion of art or other businesses. Exceptions for classes and workshops directly related to mark making.
Please invite new members who love mark Making in Abstract art.
