week 1, day 2 -- three compositions.

Here are my three "abstract" compositions. They had to be 8.5x11 and only in black and white. However on my second piece, there are different values inbetween black and white. I hope that is ok?

I am feeling frustrated because I don't think I am good at abstract art. I feel like I am a good artist, but when it comes to making up random images that aren't any specific thing, I draw a blank. I would, however, like to learn how to make it easier for me to create abstract art.

I guess I feel like a good artist....but not creative at the same time. My mind goes blank and I can't think of where to begin on a blank piece of paper. Does that make sense? I need to build on my creativity!!

Since I am more of a "computer" person and my goal is to be a Web designer/graphic artist, I did my art in Adobe Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop is also starting to frustrate me too because I couldn't do a lot of the things I wanted to do. I have never used Illustrator before, but I got a glimpse of it in ART120 and it looks awesome! I will get to learn how to use it soon...but I would also like to come up with the money to buy the program for my computer at home.
