If you seek to create a space that has a contemporary aesthetic, consider crafting some modern art pieces to cover the walls in your area. By doing so, you can not only save yourself some cash, but also make the room reflective of your skill. Creating these modern art masterpieces is an effective way to customize your space and ensure that it matches your planned style.
Geometric Creation
Capture simple lines in your modern art piece by crafting a geometric creation. Using a ruler or compass, create circles or squares on a canvas or piece of thick drawing paper. Add color to this creation using paint, selecting colors that match with or accent the furnishing pieces in your room. Keep the creation simple, as is common of modern art. For example, if your room is predominantly black and white, use only black, white and gray or black, white and eye-popping red, in your creation.
Splatter Paint Projects
Creating an attractive modern art piece is possible even if you are aren't a Picasso. To make your modern masterpiece, gather hues of paint that fit with your decor and splatter them onto a canvas. To do this, lay the canvas in a grassy area or on a large tarp. Change into some painting clothes, as this process can be quite a messy one. Dip a brush into your paint and start splattering away, stopping when you feel your creation is complete.
Pop Culture Paintings
Ever since Andy Warhol created a painting featuring a Campbell's soup can as his subject, modern art pieces depicting seemingly simple things have been popular. If you possess the skill to do so, ape Warhol, creating your own pop culture painting. Select an object to feature that seems as simple as his soup can. For example, you may choose to feature a can of soda or a box of cereal. Use the object's standard coloring, or select different hues to match it with the rest of your decor more effectively.
Found Art
Many modern artists delight in making art out of found objects. Do the same by crafting a found art display in your space. Gather some things that were never intended to be art, but that possess an aesthetic appeal, and suspend them from your wall. For example, select some car parts, clean them up a bit and perhaps even paint them, then hang them as a modern art piece in your man-cave or family room.
