Generative Art
"Generative art is art made using a predetermined system that often includes an element of chance – is usually applied to computer based art"
The practice has its roots in dada, yet it was the pioneering artist Harold Cohen who was considered one of the first practitioners of generative art when he used computer-controlled robots to generate paintings in the late 1960s. More recently the Turner Prize winner Keith Tysonbuilt an ArtMachine, a complex recursive system that generated detailed propositions for artworks for Tyson to make.
The term generative art is predominantly used in reference to a certain kind of art made on the net, particularly because artists devise programs that can be accessed and controlled by the public. Generative art is also associated with process art
Process Art
"The term process art refers to where the process of its making art is not hidden but remains a prominent aspect of the completed work, so that a part or even the whole of its subject is the making of the work"
Process became a widespread preoccupation of artists in the late 1960s and the 1970s, but like so much else can be tracked back to the abstract expressionist paintings of Jackson Pollock. In these the successive layers of dripped and poured paint can be identified and the actions of the artist in making the work can be to some extent reconstructed. The later colour field paintings of Morris Louis clearly reveal his process of pouring the paint onto the canvas.
In process art too there is an emphasis on the results on particular materials of carrying out the process determined by the artist. In Louis again, the forms are the result of the interaction of artist’s action, the type and viscosity of the paint, and the type and absorbency of the canvas. Richard Serra made work by throwing molten lead into the corners of a room. Robert Morrismade long cuts into lengths of felt and then hung them on a nail or placed them on the floor, allowing them to take on whatever configurations were dictated by the interaction of the innate properties of the felt, the artist’s action and gravity.
The British painter Bernard Cohen made paintings by establishing a set process for the work and then carrying it through until the canvas was full. John Hilliard’s photographic work Camera Recording its Own Condition of 1971 is a particularly pure example of process art, as is Michael Craig-Martin’s 4 Complete Clipboard Sets.

Past Projects
Hello! I just wanted to share some past projects I did in school that I never got around to posting! I will also show the original sketches if I still have them!
Project 1: Miles
Class: Plate Lithography
For the first project I drew my OC Miles! She is actually a pretty old OC that I had for a long time. In this project, I redesigned her to what she looks like today! I remember being so satisfied with her redesign because I put a lot of thought into it. I didn’t like her previous design because it was very bland and generic. Unfortunately, I don’t have any images of her original design because I only drew her once on a flipnote on my brother’s DSi and the file became corrupted and deleted itself (along with all the other flipnotes I made on it).
Overall, I’m still really happy with how this project turned out! 🥰

Aurora Animation WIP
Here’s an update on how far I am on my animation practice!🤗 I’m currently working on the shading/lighting of her jacket. However, I’m having trouble doing so, because I’m trying to get that shiny leather look. But most of the time it looks like nonsense or like she’s wearing a camo jacket.😑 Overall, I’m really happy on how she’s turning out! 🥰 She looks so pretty!🥺
