My Break Downs

When I was in high school I was able to take a print making course, to start off with we did basic black and white break down on paper. My drawing I decided to do was of the “Creation” painting done by Michelangelo.

After learning the concepts of negative and positive space we got to work with lenolyum blocks, my print was based on a “Converse” add (my favorite brand of shoes). I have a copy of “I Gotta Feelin’” in my dorm, and my best friend Amanda has a copy in her room.

I also did a block print of a turtle… I have a long history with turtle prints… So I thought I might as well do an art piece that was legal.

Next we got to do basic silk screen prints. I made a political statement with mine. I chose an image of the First Lady flexing with her quote “I have the Right to Bare Arms”.

Finally, we got to make a multi layered silk screen art piece. I chose to do a scene with the northern lights. This was my favorite from this art course and I made about 10 copies, which were given to various family members and friends, I kept my favorite ones. I got some very good tips on how to do the different layers from Mr. Quisling.
