Afrofuturism

Abstact Art

Is painting, sculpture, or graphic art in which the portrayal of things from the visible world plays little or no part. All art consists largely of elements that can be called abstract—elements of form, color, line, tone, and texture. Prior to the 20th century these abstract elements were employed by artists to describe, illustrate, or reproduce the world of nature and of human civilization—and exposition dominated over expressive function.

Automatic Drawing

Automatic drawings are defined as “conveying the subconscious”, implying that one ought to sketch randomly over the page without any rational thought or control. As an end result, we are left with a sketch created by the subconscious for the purpose of learning more about the artist’s psyche. If the artist employs rationale or thought in their automatic drawings, the subconscious would be suppressed and there would be no way to communicate with the deepest parts of a person’s psyche.
