Below are examples of portraits using the block print method. The white areas are carved away and the black is left in the material. The block is then inked and printed. What do you think?
My favorite is the last one because of all the different directions the cuts go. These are very helpful and help me appreciate what we are doing in class now.
My favorite is the third from last picture, the man with the beard. Most of his lines are very thin which makes the whole print more intricate and detailed.
My favorite is the second picture. It shows a lot of detail around the eyes and the mouth and the different amounts of black lines shows the difference in how much light there is. -Lily Wakefield
i like the picture of the guy with the hat. the background goes well with the picture and the artist simplified the picture and made it that even though there wasn't as much detail the picture still turned out good
My favorite is the third picture with the old wrinkly man. it is so detailed with the amount of texture it shows. The black lines are very distinct from the white lines.
Some of them look simpler with more even lines and some of them are mixed with dots and uneven lines. I like the last one best because the lines formed geometrical shapes which made the portrait abstract.
My favorite is the third picture because the cuts are not in a uniform pattern. This also gives me an idea for my own portrait when it comes to the hair!
I think it is very interesting that you are able to make this art by just carving out some stuff. Though I would think that if you just straight up painted like that it would be easier. Then again you couldn't use it more than once. Idk its cool though
I like the fourth one because it really shows a lot of detail in the face and hair just using many curved lines. The face looks so realistic despite the print having been made with a knife carving into a block.
I thought these were very cool and all unique. It helps for me to understand what we are doing in class now. They are all so pretty.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite one is the 4th one, there are so many details and the darkness and lightness of the picture can make a drawing of a person or design.

ReplyDeleteI like the last one because of the details on his face and beard. The stripes in the background give a contrast again the face.
ReplyDeleteI really like the first one. It is simple yet you can still tell that it is a person.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite one is the last one because of how detailed it is and how you can read the emotions.

ReplyDeleteI am very interested on how detailed most of these are. I now know how hard it is to make these pieces, so i am very impressed
