2.2.11 Tools of Art
Tools of Art is the title of this text because whilst in the process of creation i realized the tools had actually become art themselves and were no longer separated from the art work that I had created. It gave an answer to the question, should tools that help you only be practical or can they be aesthetically beautiful just as they are. For me this question needed a creative answer which you can view whilst reading the text. The love of art and the practicality of using my body are integrated with each other through the creation of these tools of art. As a follow up from last semester I continued my research in making painting tools to improve my posture for sitting and to make painting less strenuous for my body. After each painting i had made, i evaluated the way i used my body and researched how I could make painting easier for myself. The Alexander Technique supported me in this process. This chapter intends to provide you with tools for improving your artistic practice.
