Chance Operations Art

While learning about Chance and Randomness, I got to experience my own chance operation art form. I teamed up with a classmate and we swapped our chance operations that could be used to create art.

This was my chance operation. It simply used different die rolls to complete different tasks that you would systematically do in the painting. I chose to use watercolor as my medium. I used die rolls for everything from choosing the paper size (5x7") to where rolling where I would paint on the paper. I had a operation to stop painting. If I rolled 1-1-1 or high-high-high, I would stop, but I never got those rolls. So, after Filling the page I just stopped.

Next Is the random operation I used from Tina:

The instructions got a little beat up and painted on, but they are still readable. Basically it calls for dipping a gummy snack into paint and stamping it onto a page. I'm using gouache here. First the instructions call to stamp horizontally and then vertically. Randomness comes in the gummy you choose from the big pile of gummy snacks that I have now. Like pulling from a hat. Also from the instructions there are randomness from when it says, "the color of the shoes you wore today."

Here are the works that my partners produced using the chance operations that we shared:
