In my research for artists that work with movement, I was surprised to find so many artists who actually incorporated movement into the process. These artists completely immerse themselves in their work by using their whole bodies when creating. By taking this unique approach it's not just the finished piece that is the art but the process itself. The movements they make while creating are beautiful to watch and they will often record themselves while making it. Using movement in the process also makes the art much more fluid, expressive and spontaneous. I would really like to try out some of their methods of moving in my own creative process.

The Value Of A Line, Heather Hansen

[k00233820]

While I was researching I came across interdisciplinary artist Heather Hansen. She is a contemporary performance artist and a professional dancer. What I enjoy about her work is that her whole body is involved in the piece. She is not only creating a physical mark on a blank surface, but she is also asserting her physical presence to the viewer by performing. I would like to learn more about her process as I move forward with the theme of dance and body language. I think an art form like this would inform all of my electives. In ceramics the patterns and shapes made can be used as designs on plates and cups or turned into more sculptural pieces, in photography I could document the process of making the marks or simply investigate the marks by zooming in on certain points and distort them, and in animation I could depict an array of repetitive movements of the body through stop motion.

Lorsque le #corps lui même est mis en mouvement et utilisé comme outil de #création !! L'idée me plaît beaucoup !! L’artiste américaine #HeatherHansen intitulé « #EmptiedGestures ». Cette passionnée de danse réalise ses oeuvres en utilisant simplement son corps et un morceau de #fusain. Heather Hansen se plie et se tord dans des mouvements fluides à travers la surface du papier rugueux pour créer des formes et des motifs magnifiquement symétriques. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTYxMVHhGzM4QYjHYSJVbehidHUiR_PFBI41Q0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ofmpx05gw994

{Some school art to spam here for your pleasure} My final piece of the second project for #aqagcseart unit 1 - Bodies. I looked at the idea of body movement and my final piece was inspired by the one and only Heather Hansen @presentry! I was completely inspired by you to base my whole project around your idea and I'm now a HUGE fan of your original work Hansen!! If I hadn't found your work I'd probably would have hated my second project just like the first one 😂😂 --- #bodymovement #heatherhansen #inspirationalartist
