Culture by Design a hybrid Painting

Painting is a challenge to any artist, let alone creating something new. Here is an assignment that is a blending of cultures by their designs as well as historic implications. Although these paintings are in progress and is only the first stage and layer "Symmetry".  I allowed the assignment to be expressive and interpretive with the embracing the origin of visual reference. A few of the students have crossed over to the second part and layer infusing the elements and components of "MOLA". The Kuna people of Panama are a  simple tribe who are known for their colorful clothings decorated with colorful designs of mola. The second stage of this process is to layer a mola style design over the symmetrical painting. Yet what is exciting to the students as well as the viewer will be this emergence of sensibility of each student mixed with his or her understanding of the task and its mixture of styles and cultures all in a single image. 
I'm very excited to see how a student can begin to appreciate the uses of materials playing of painting and by default learning of history and its importances, cultures unknown and geographic locations through the eyes of focusing attention within an assignment.

    These paintings were excellent examples of symmetry. The colors used grab your attention and they are all executed amazingly. There is one that is kinda ugly but as a whole they are all beautiful.
