Planning (and experimentation) stage 1

Started to plan my final work using 3 canvases. A common feature of the abstract expressionist  is the inordinate size of some works. Jackson Pollock's 'Blue Poles' for example is a canvas some 30 feet square. My anstract expressionism is somewhat smaller over 3 canvases of varying size but still somewhat larger than the norm for this assignment. I've also used a varity of canvases in a dis-jointed, yet 'connected' way to emphaise the phases of the contempory issue I'm representing in the work. More on that later...

The image below came about when I started visualising what the colour scheme might look like. The colour theory clip on moodle informed this early experimentation which was done on Windows Paint.
