Reflection:

When we first got the assignment, I was worried I wouldn’t do well since I wasn’t good with abstract art, however, I feel like my product was not bad. It is similar to the painting I chose, but it is not so similar that it feels like a copy of it. I feel it conveys the feeling when looking at Kooning’s art a little. I don’t think I would do anything differently.

The main thing I’ve learned is that even abstract art is actually not that abstract because it may have a story or meaning behind it. Abstract art is not just something the artist felt like drawing, it is not something that has to convey just feelings, it can have a purpose and messages it wants to convey. When I looked at the painting Woman I for the first time, I just saw a woman, colors and shapes. After reading about it and about Kooning, I’ve realized that it is conveying many messages such as feminism. I felt that was very beautiful.
