TermsNon Objective the painting does not contain a recognizable
subject.
Abstract Expressionist has two categories action painting and Colour Field.
What to ask yourself when looking at an abstract piece of art?
• Does it hold your attention? • Does it give an emotional response? • Am I trying to figure out what it looks like or represent,
rather than allowing something to emerge from what I see in front of me? What are the elements that I see?
• What are the emotions that are bring expressed? • Have I allowed enough time?
