love how you linked your thumbnails to larger floating windows so we can see the details- perfect! you have presented many varied techniques  and successfully communicated emotions. It is good that you have recorded your  large exploratory mono- prints.

Hand Drawn Lines

Using the template that was given to us, I tried to draw out lines according to the 6 different emotions.

Hand Crafted Line and Artist Reference

Since my previous attempt to emulate Mondrian’s work was not successful, I tried to re-create his work: “Composition in Red, Blue, and Yellow”

Using vertical and horizontal intersecting lines, I came up with this:

==> attempt to recreate Mondrian’s composition

However, I forgot that this project was limited to black and white only and so, I changed the Read more →

Mark Making Tools and Artist Reference- Using Palette Knife and Paintbrush

Besides using found objects, I decided to make use of the palette knife to create textures on my prints.

The palette knife has a smooth straight wide base to create the textures above. These angular and harsh pattern required more action, and this links with themes of anger.

Andy Warhol- Rorschach

I was very fascinated with this. The ink blot test has been around since the 1920s when Swiss Psychologist Hermann Rorschach came up with this. I found it interesting how Andy Warhol adapted it and made it into art pieces because to be frank, they are beautiful. There is always something quite unsettling whenever I see a rorschach Read more →

Mark Making Tools and Artist Reference – Using Found Objects

My first mark making tool is a leaf. I have always been intrigued with leaves due to the different forms that it comes with and the textures of the veins can be interesting too.    ==> Leaf

Secondly, I used loose thread as my mark making tool. I was inspired by Jackson Pollock’s Read more →

Anger:

Fear:

Joy:

Love:

SADNESS:

SURPIRSE:

The lines are beautiful! Various techniques have been successfully explored. Please improve on OSS layout: to identify styles - and various treatments consider to separate your lines - and ensure that one can preview them as bigger image. To do that - when uploading your images - ensure that you have checked "link to media" (located on the right hand side of the post) ; This would allow you to see the images larger in the floating window. It is hard to separate lines as well as emotions from each other. Ideally each category should have the subcategory: for example Anger:  could be divided into Torment, Rage, Jealousy. Carefully arrange them as they will enhance each other more prominently.
For the mark making tools - please make selection from the google drive and upload..It is hard to search for your images on the Google drive. Ensure the images are large scale!!!
Ok I'll try to work on it! Thanks for the feedback!

CHINESE INK & A BRUSH

After our second class I researched on mark making and found some quite interesting styles and ideas.

I took out my Chinese ink and a brunch of dried and old brushes and started painting on my paper.

I didn’t have a clear idea of the finished product. I just painted different angles, styles Read more →

She has a very interesting monoprint style that I really like. She uses old boxes, opens them and monoprints them. The monoprints she creates reminds me of buildings or machines.

I followed her style and started playing with the ink I use (Chinese ink or acrylic paint), the amount of paint I use and the area Read more →
