The final 6 design formats given by Teacher in class are: 7) constellation, Meander, 9) Diagonal, 10) Golden Section, 11) Tension, and 12) Spiritual/Portrait. All these are possible design formats for an abstract painting.

I chose the curves format. I proceeded to find round objects of various sizes to use as templates – a paper plate, coffee can lid, glass and hair dryer end. After making circles on my canvas with these objects, I filled them in with whatever colors appealed to me. I must confess, this is not a purely subjective painting because there was a black and white photo of someone’s painting included in each example, so I used that photo as inspiration. My creativity may be coming, but it’s not free yet!
