Piero Dorazio (Rome, June 29, 1927 - Perugia, May 17, 2005) was an Italian painter. His work was related to color field painting, lyrical abstraction and other forms of abstract art.

Warm-up + Project

Abstract, Abstract, Abstract!

Piero Dorazio brought abstract painting to Italy. His beautiful paintings and  prints appear airy and fanciful even when layering many lines and shapes.

I would like us all to play with layering in our pieces.  I believe almost all materials will work well.

Please watch the video demonstration of imitating Dorazio's work by creating a vertical and horizontal pattern of lines using watercolors. 

The rest is up to you!
