Finally have a working scanner!
Saturday, August 28th, 2004I did this in printmaking sophomore year. It’s a linoleum block print, made f
or a Christmas card and obviously inspired by Picasso’s dove drawings. I also have a couple that I did in several different colors–gold letters, blue background, green leaf, etc. Probably around 20 all told, although most of them were sent out as cards and no doubt thrown out. My art teacher made me add the little dashes to the dove after I finished the multi-color ones. She said it was for “texture” but really, I think it was to stall me, since I finished before almost everyone else. *sigh* They look weird.
This is one of my all-time favorites. It’s from my Studio Survey class and was our “cubism” project. We started out with a realistic line drawing of a traditional portrait and gradually transformed it into something Cubist. The project itself was a lot of fun and I really like the way it turned out. It was originally a detail of a painting by someone Spanish. (Goya? Velazquez? I honestly don’t remember.) I did this one junior year in studio survey. Update: I looked it up. It’s a detail of Las Meninas (The Maids of Honor) by Velazquez. (acrylic on paper, approx. 8×10″)
That’s all for now. Most of my work is too big to scan, so I still have to figure out my dad’s camera.
