Perhaps Toddlers Can't do Modern Art? by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Perhaps Toddlers Can't do Modern Art?

There's a book called " Why a Five Year Old Could NOT Have Painted It" (or something like that). It's about modern art and supporting the skill needed to paint a blob, a blue screen and eyes in the wrong place portraits.

I'm not at all familiar with art, or artists, so to be introduced to Paul Klee was interesting. I thought I'd have a go to.

I chose tetradedic complementary colours, a quote from "The Boy, The Mole,The Fox and The Horse" , put on the radio and daubed.

I might do the buildings one tomorrow.
Sounds like good practice

This turned out really well! I started out thinking I would do the building one and then changed my mind to possibly doing this one. I have to find a good phrase though. I haven’t actually started either one yet so you will have to wait to see what I end up with, as will I.

This is nicer than a blob! Love your color choices.

Always good to get in touch with your inner child.

I've read the book - articulates what I know! Nice colour choices - with a very technical label! I like what you've done around the lettering.

This is great, nice colours.

Theres a lot of art I don't get, lots of times I'm in an art gallery saying "a child could have done that"

Hmm. I'm afraid that I have to be hit in the head with art for it to make sense to me. On occasion I like to dabble with abstract photos and like the colors and shapes. I do like these colors assembled in this manner. The quote seems to hold true.

Love it!

Great result! Well done. And you should keep that quote in plain sight.
Note to self: use the same quote and keep it in plain sight.

@monikozi I probably won't!!
@dutchothotmailcom v kind
@randystreat I don't get modern stuff at all and tend to think "A child could do that!"
@kjarn yup and the artist taking us for a ride, at our expense!!
@anniesue I wonder at the symbolism of the blood red? No I don't, just thought it would clash nicely!!
@wakelys yup
@marlboromaam had to revolve around purple as that was first tube of paint I chose
@grammyn Katy you're a busier lady than me, I can sit and do this ( with the hoover and duster hovering nearby to be used another time!!)
@jackies365 it was good practice

I like it!!

You are having way too much fun in retirement! :)

Great message

@30pics4jackiesdiamond au contraire! I COULD be busier and might SHOULD be busier but I spend a lot of time sitting around doing nothing constructive when there is tons of stuff that needs attention around here!

Love your use of colour.......the words are fun too!
January 31st, 2021  
What a great combo of colours you chose and a super set of words to live by.
January 31st, 2021  
This is cool. I just had a go at mine and agree - much harder than it looks! I like your colour choices
