Assignment: Art Question Theodorah II by Senzeni Marasela- Linocut
Select a work of art that was developed through one of the printmaking process we are studying in Chapter 2.03.
Possible processes:
1) Relief printing-woodcut, linocut
2) Intaglio-engraving, drypoint, etching, aquatint, mezzotint
3) Planographic printmaking-lithography, silkscreen printing
4) Monotypes or monoprints
Chose your print from the High Museum or the Museum of Modern Art websites. Try not to pick the first image that you see. Do not write about a print that is in our textbook.
The High Museum Permanent Collection https://www.high.org/Art/Permanent-
Collection
In the bar under "Search the highlights" type a printmaking process that interests you.
The Museum of Modern Art
When you go to this link, you will see the words "The Collection" with a bar underneath that reads "search artists and works." In that bar type one of the printmaking processes that interests you. You will have thousands of images to choose from.
Write a thoughtful and concise paragraph, 300-400 words, about your print and its creator.
A. First be sure to tell us the artist's name, the title of the piece in "quotation marks" or italicized, the year it was made, and its dimensions. Provide a bit of biographical information about the artist. Always refer to the artist by their full or last name, never their first name.
B. Decipher how the print was made and write about it in your own words. Review the definitions and process explanations that are in the text book for different types of printmaking, and the site "What is a print?" from the Museum of Modern Art. This site is interactive and fun. Why do you think the artist choose that specific process of printmaking to develop their vision? What attributes does that particular process have that you believe the artist wanted? Slow down when you are studying the different types of printmaking!
C. Why are you attracted to this print? Use the principles of design and the vocabulary that you have studied in this class to describe why. Is it the subject, the color, the space, the texture--what is it about this that attracts you. Vocabulary, vocabulary, vocabulary.
