                            Demonstration of abstract expressionism images on 3D cubes ( the past patterned images we created before). I took a piece of the work using the 'group selection' tool, and created 3D cubes, created by the 'extrude and bevel' tool. Created on Adobe Illustrator.
         
                       In this piece of work I used formal elements such as: texture, shape, colour, tone and line.

                       
                              To get this effect, I used Photoshop CS6 and mainly used the brush tool. I tried out different options on the brush tools effect bar, choosing the 'round fan' brush type to use different types of the same colour, and blend them with the ' multiply' effect for a camouflaging effect. The first image is mostly based on tones of blue, perhaps showing a calm, or cold- like emotion. For the second image, I mainly used the glowing brush tool for a landscape effect. I decided on creating a sunset, since it contains similar blended colours. I used the 'soft light' tool as well as the 'multiply tool' for a greater effect. The second image would be showing a happy or relaxing emotion because of the bright colours used, or even anger. We created these images to show our understanding on abstract expressionism.

                               I used mainly colour and texture in these pieces of work.

                     I used Photoshop to crop the background from the images. We used the magic wand and the lasso tool to perfection the image on its own.
 
                    The main formal element shown here is different types of form.
