You just finished up your first printing media, linolium. You will next be creating a woodblock print. Below are examples by 4 famous woodblock print artists.
Tell me which artist you prefer and why. Be as specific as you can. This will be due Friday, September 17. The second part of your homework is to bring in 2 sketches of what you want to try as a woodblock.
I like Albert Durer and Franz Marks wood block prints. I like Albert Durer for making so much detail in his artwork. I like it because I would never be able to do that so I give him props for being able to do that well and have that much patience to create his art. I like Franz Marks work because I like animals and its more of a simpler piece that I think I would be able to do. I also like how he uses different kind of shapes to make it look not so realistic.
ReplyDeleteRaeney,
ReplyDeleteI too am always in awe when I look at Durer's work. The knife blades must have been tiny. Franz Marc has a wonderful balance between the blacks and the whites and I love how he simplifies the tigers.
I like Mary Azarians because of how simple it looks, i'm not a huge fan of pieces like Albrect Durer where theres too much stuff. I also like how Mary's details stick out, for instance the shadowing behind the moon.
ReplyDeleteI like Mary Azarians because it looks so elegent . and how it looks so real .
