When someone looks at abstract art and is like “ugh, I could’ve made that” it’s like…yeah? You think you could’ve? I like how those squiggles and splatters look, and how the colors play against each other, and I bet you could make something like that too. Wanna give it a try? I’ve got acrylics and tape and cardboard we could experiment on. It’s fun to break art and composition down to its bare essentials without worrying about things like representation or naturalism. Come on, let’s paint some lines.

“i could’ve made that” sure man, lets go. what colors are you drawn to. splash some blue on there, there you go, a splatter. it’s alright if it’s drippy, it’s just abstract. it’s easy. red? okay, cool- making a big smear? sure. paint however, man. use your hands. make a mess. sure, it’s got your handprint, and you were kinda mad at it before. but hey, i like the colors you picked. hey, might not be intentional, but the harsher strokes kinda gave way to softer colors- you had more fun here? cool. anyway, since you don’t like abstract art, you wanna toss this? or are you more attached to this raw expression of emotion than you thought you’d be? do you wanna go back to that art museum now?
