Week 2 MOCA: John Hughson

Art as Discovery
John Hughson
Blue Vase

I found this work of art to be interesting by John Hughson whom is a Professor Emeritus of Visual Art and New Media at the State University of New York at Fredonia. He uses paint-and-draw applications for his work of art creationss. He draws directly into the computer as in drawing and painting using traditional materials. John states that the process of drawing leads to discoveries in content and imagery which leads to spontaneous and responses throughout the creative process. John's creativity in art includes experimenting, speculating, and referencing previous work done in sketchbooks, drawings and paintings.He considers himself to be a brilliant and dark colorist, and his art merges into the abstract with almost oriental lyricism.
