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!
