Section 1: Inquiry Question and Concept Exploration
Explanation of the guiding question or concept
Inquiry Statement: How can movement, intuition, and destruction be used as tools to uncover meaning and shape a more resolved abstract artwork?
Anni albers, website link
Kandinski, website link
Gerardo Dottori, not abstract art (futurism) but the color palette inspired me.
Pesce Khete website link
Anni Albers has inspired me since the first time I saw her work, the color schemes and patterns, and the way everything feels like it's connected in some odd way, always astounded me. Kandinski and Albers both went to and studied in the Bauhous, and that always interested me, because of the solid colors and stark shapes. Pesce Khete was an artist I discovered over the previous summer break, and I really love the flow that a lot of his paintings seem to have, even through what at the beginning seems incoherent. Gerardo Dottori, though not an abstract artist, has this way of layering colors and this beautiful palette that I thought of constantly while working on this.
Section 3: Investigate
Visual evidence of material tests, alternate compositions, sketches.
Research:
These are my Composition research notes after watching the video.
Section 4: Create
Visual documentation of steps of creation
Day 1- I didn't know what i was doing
Day 2- still hadn't found anything coheseve
Day 3- I started to see a color palette I liked
Day 4- I felt it actually coming together
Day 5-It was almost done

Section 5: Final Artwork
Artist: Julia Hare
Title: Untitled
Size: 33cm x 43.1cm
Date of completion: Aug 27, 2025
The Why: I felt a need to find some sort of color pattern throughout the process of working on this. I wanted areas to be different, but I wanted there to be a cohesion to it all, something that made me feel like it was one whole thing, not just a bunch of different, disconnected shapes.
Section 6: Communicate and Reflect
Challenges, successes, and self-evaluation of how the artwork aligns with the inquiry question.
At the beginning, I felt really uncomfortable with what I was doing; I felt no connection with it, and I felt self-conscious about how it looked. Finding a pattern in the shapes or colors I use when painting is really important to me, and for the first two days, there was nothing, no coherence. By day three, though, I started to see a pattern coming through, and that helped me find my way through the painting.
On days four and five, I just really focused on adding vibrancy to the work. I was trying to avoid making it look washed out, but by day six, I had found the patterns within the painting and the brightness, and I just worked on enhancing them. For me, the whole process was about finding some sort of comfort zone and place of cohesion within the work.
