Learning through studying: Unit 2
During unit 2 I have studied numerous artists, works styles & techniques. Here are a few examples and word of explanation.
Following my exhibition of the art school favourite, a charcoal drawing I had a few suggestions that ‘my line’ was more suited to ink. My assessment feed back suggested some of my work contained inherent expressionism. I therefore set about looking at works with fine lines in ink & etchings by artists employing various degrees of expressionism – and the odd cartoonist. I try to work quickly using the original a guide.
