Capturing the personality, brilliance and ingenuity of Andy Warhol is no small task. Known originally as the talented illustrator for the I. Miller and Sons shoe company, Andy Warhol's bold, graphic style developed into his now iconic style seen below that has come to define Pop Art.
Even beginning to understand the mastery in the art of Hokusai, carefully carving multiple woodblocks to register each color, layer upon layer and create this...
masterpiece where each color applied requires a separate block of ink. Again, no small task.
This week our artist's at FMAA explored the art of printmaking and the many skilled steps involved, including: 1. drawing, 2. transferring the drawing 3. carving 4. inking 5. burnishing 6. centering/registering the paper and finally...printing. Phew! Line quality, composition and a great facility for fine motor skills are developed as seen in the pictures below.
