Art Project course gallery No. 17
Art Project: Inspired by Giacomo Balla / Move It!
This week’s we wished Italian artist Giacomo Balla a very Happy 149th Birthday and took inspiration from his work and in particular how he depicts motion through sequences – duplicating forms, multiple contours, overlaying colours and shapes and exploring shifts in colour and scale. His work is often associated with the Futurists who shared his interest in depicting a more dynamic visual experience when looking at a static painting and who wanted to celebrate the increasing amount of technology appearing in early 20th century society – from cars and mechanical machinery to photography, cinema and the visual experience resulting from travelling at speed.
Here’s a selection of artwork and prepatory studies made by some of the Art Project course artists taking part in the project.
Look out for another gallery of work coming soon…
