Paint Party Friday...Tamed and Tagged



"Tamed and Tagged" by Kim Smith 2013

Happy Weekend and Happy PPF! For this week I am showing you the art work I made for the Week One Peer Assessment assignment for the Intro to Art Concepts course I am taking on Coursera. (Coursera offers free courses online from major universities around the world, I LOVE taking their classes and am really enjoying the Art Concepts course.)

Week One was about the Fantastic Art genre with artists like Chagall, Dali and Fuchs being discussed and studied. I have no background in any of this so it was a real learning experience. And although I don't think I really hit the mark with my piece, I got a 23 out of 25 in the Peer Assessment...not bad!

This was done on heavy cardstock with collaged images from magazines, acrylics, gesso, stencils, inks and pencil. The composition is a little off but I decided not to try to fix it because I really loved how it turned out.

Thanks for visiting for my blog and I so appreciate your comments! xo
