The futurists tried to capture motion in their paintings, as Giacomo Balla does here. There has been little to no serious attempt to render the concept of movement as an element of visual experience for the last hundred years. How might you devise a work that addresses motion in an acrylic painting?

Cubists like Juan Gris experimented with the idea of communicating movement around objects, seeing them from multiple angles within a single, flat painting.
