What I heard in the video is not all art represents a person, place, event, fact or opinion. You can be patient with creativity. It’s a blank canvas, don’t rush to describe, imply, politicize, contest or shock. Let the open canvas evolve into a discovery or personal truth. In your patient moments an epiphany may evolve into something special.
The most interesting comment from this video for me was his comparison of a finished artwork to "the lines you might see on someone's face after years of hard living." That idea really helps me to grasp the added profundity of putting layers and layers of experimentation into an artwork before calling it finished. -Shelby
This video seemed to describe the essence of painting, basically to explore boundaries and experiment with your medium. Although I felt the video was very subjective to the artist himself, the overall message was to basically be loose and open for ideas, marks and finishes.
In the beginning of the video, Nozkowski talked about artists painting what others say they can't paint, about "going against the rules". He talked about his canvasses and how he manipulates them. As he described his current process, I thought about the gallery we went to on Saturday that showed artists who manipulated the surfaces they worked out. Some cut holes through the canvas like Sarah Cain while others pulled apart the threads of their canvas such as Gabriel Pionkowski does.
I also liked what he said about whatever source inspires you, put it on the canvas and see if it evokes a response. If it doesn't change it. That's something I struggled with at first because painting seems to so permanent, changing what you already put down never seemed like an option to me. As I continued painting, I became aware that you can just change whatever you put down completely or just slightly alter it. It can be changed.
Thomas talks about how "oil paint loves to be changed and altered". I believe Thomas means that you can paint on top layers and layers and you can be messy and not be afraid to use the oil and use hatching and scraping in your paintings as different designs. -deb sousa
I like what thomas has to say about art and the outcome of art. He is very clear about his perception of the creative process. I like how he describes the development of paintings and how it is up to you to allow the painting to develop on its own rather than try and force something on canvas. And also to be experimentational, try different things, get messy, because when you break out of fussy painting patterns you will expand your art ability and design.
