This is a value painting I did on canvas, using only black and white acrylic paint. I completed this piece quickly in the art program Towson holds for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I work with the Center for Adults with Autism in this program every Thursday night as a part of my service learning for my honors seminar about the life spans of Autism. The instructor, who is also on the sprectrum, handed everyone canvas paper, black and white paints, and several brushes and told us to create value in a painting. By the end of a long day, it was to use this exercise as a stress relief and make big, uncontrolled strokes on the canvas with my brush. I had no direction with painting when I started and when I finished. Taking a step back, and looking at the painting, I do see some recognizeable shapes . I see two feathered hearts, two femurs, and what appears to be two sets of rib cages.
