CCCART APPRECIATION

arp project



THE PROJECT

This is a classroom project based upon the automatic art of surrealist Jean Arp. Arp developed the technique of producing art through accidental methods instead of attempting to control the process.

step 1

Soak a length of string in glue and then let the string drop onto a stiff sheet of paper to form an accidental pattern.

step 2

With marker, colored pencil, pen or other implement, write whatever pops into your mind even if it makes no sense.

step 3

Color the random shapes with paints, markers, crayons or colored pencils.

EXAMPLES

Below are examples of automatic paintings made by students.
