Abstract expressionism Project

This is one of the Abstract Expressionism project of my Art 2 Students. The lesson was a collaboration between the students. Each of them were given a 60m x 1.20m canvas. They were challenge to express who they are using colors; their fears, frustrations, character, priorities. Afterwards, they shared their artwork to their partner were they use lines to describe their positive characters. They have to share their values to one another. Finally they used imprinting for their family crests and included in the center of their artwork.

The best thing in this lesson was when they start sharing themselves to the class through art critiquing. Each of them managed to express freely their life in their paintings.

Cultural Women Series

I am inspired this year. Here are my painting in mixed media:

Alibata or Baybayin

Alibata or Baybayin is a Pre-Hispanic script. Being inspired to paint again. I revisited and learned how to write the script. Here are some of my paintings clearly incorporating baybayin or alibata.

First painting in 2011

For more than a year I did not paint. My art was mostly using 3d visualization. This year my passion to paint has returned. Here is my first painting in 2011 after almost two years of not painting.

Viuetnamese Series

In 2007, I started this series concentrating on Vietnamese Women.

Here are some of them:

Worship Series

In this series, I tried to use Google Sketchup and rendering engines like Vray SketchUp to understand lighting. In this painting, the model and rendered image were my preparatory studies.

Gestalt

I love painting and exploring different subjects and techniques. One of my favorite subject is cultural women. In this approach of gestalt study, I painted this Vietnamese woman without showing her face.

Painting on Wooden shoes

This one was actually a collaboration project at Hanoi International School. I asked all the students from K-12 to paint their wooden shoes during the international week. Here is a sample of oil paint that I did for this whole school project.

Hope Series

In the year 2000, I was extremely interested in painting a series called "Hope". I used mostly children as my subject.
