The work of Ingird Calame


The Work of Ingird Calame
-WHO Ingrid Calame is
-HOW she makes her paintings
-WHY she makes her paintings the way she does

Ingrid Calame is a artist who does paintings by taking copies of stains or mess ups, and incorporating it into her paintings.

She makes her painting by having a big team of people help her, and going to a location and copying down shapes, and then tracing them and using them in her paintings.

She makes her paintings this way because she wants to take natural things/ or things that happened by mistake and making them beautiful and making them fit.

3. I like this painting because I love how it is really simple and only has two colors. I really like how it looks as if the green was put on with a sponge. The shapes that it creates in the white are also really interesting.
