Futurism
Futurism was an art movement of 20th century Italy. Using various types of medium, futurist artists used emphasized themes of the contemporary social issues of the time connecting specifically with the future. These themes included ideas based in the increasing speed of technology, automobiles and airplanes of the industrial revolution
as well as youth and violence.
Futurism focuses on the movement of the object within the piece, manipulating and overlaying an image several times to understand the motion and movement it creates. Colour, line and shape become very important in Futurist works, for the importance is on how the object moves throughout the canvas. Many futurist works appear abstract.

Year 12 Observational Drawing Transformation to Futurist Paintings
Using an observational drawing you've created. Think about movement and your lines. If your objects were in motion, what would they look like? What colours, shapes and lines would they product? What blocks of colour and abstracted shapes would be created?
Use the above artists as an influence to your work and re-create your observational drawings as futurist works of art.
