What are the types of abstract art?

Answer 1

There is no special technique needed to "do" abstract art. Any approach will do, abstract art can be done by feel, while blind folded, with strange tools or even by throwing paint at a canvas. Afterwards you can say it's whatever it looks like to you, no one will be able to prove you wrong.

Although it may look like there is no talent involved in Abstract art, for it to be Art and not just scribbles the rules of Art should be known (can't break rules you do not know) and some inherent talent is needed.

Answer 2

It is nearly impossible to state the specific ideas behind abstract art, because everyone, including every abstract artist, has different ideas about exactly what abstract art is. For some it is entirely formless, and for others it can use recognizable shapes or figures but in an surreal manner or in some manner that has an more or less abstract element. For abstract art purists, however, truly abstract art is that which is formless and does not utilize recognizable shapes or figures. The works of Jackson Pollock are perhaps the foremost example of abstract art (and, in his case, of the specific category of abstract expressionism). The primary challenge of abstract art is therefore to create a work of art without using form.

Answer 3

I would divide the page up lightly with a pencil using a ruler randomly. then say you were drawing a bird, you draw the eye in one of the top shapes and foot in one of the bottom shapes. You could put things to do with birds in the others, or just colour them in with water colours (that always looks good :)).

Answer 4

Abstract art (art that is entirely devoid of objects, figures or any worldly representation) can be broken down into two categories: geometric abstraction and organic abstraction.

Geometric abstraction is an artistic style characterized by the use of geometric forms sometimes, though not always, placed in non-illusionistic space and combined into linear compositions.

Organic abstraction is an artistic style characterized by "the use of rounded or wavy abstract forms based on what one finds in nature."
