SCREEN PRINTING

Brad Novak

Reservoir Birds of NZ  

screenprint, 760x560 


Novak's profile as a leading Urban Pop artist in New Zealand is continuing to rise rapidly, with a growing international fanbase, and a new body of work sitting sharply at the nexus between fine art and street art. Expect his highly sought after original works and premium-quality limited edition screen prints to continue to sell out. 

I very much like his entire work. Because of the simple color matching and novel ideas, as a New Zealand artist, he can use simple images to reflect the characteristics of New Zealand. This is New Zealand's unique bird species of birds, he used anthropomorphic representation very interesting. Secondly, I really like his color, because the color is simple and elegant, red and black is very classic, contrasting colors. The entire work is the atmospheric layers.

week 7 SCREEN PRINTING

This week we did a screen printing. Good thing is the printed image is very beautiful, but if you put too much paint will affect the image effect will be very sticky. Other images useful to us with their combination of images, there will be a very rich effect.

I do not have a style in a different paper, simple printing paper, thick kraft paper, and thick cardboard. I think it is a good thick cardboard, easily absorbed because of the pigment, the color more vivid. The worst thing is ordinary paper. Because the pigment will go through the screen printing crumpled paper, image display effect is not good. Finally, I have tried to do a T-shirt, because I already have a screen, but I hope to have many different colors, so I was in the same layer with different colors, the effect is very good.

week 6 SCREENPRINTING

 This week I have made my screenprinting with Caryline .First, I print out my images in halftone images. Then we need to wash screenprinting on the original image. Then completely dry with a hair dryer, in the new layer. Then wait half an hour into the darkroom. Then come to the machine to print the image on the screen. Finally wash the paint layer printed image will be revealed out. Today we prepare for this screen for next week.

Portraiture Painting

Chuck Close   
1940  Monroe, Washington, United States。
He is one of the world's leading modern artists. His art focuses on portraits of himself and his family and friends, often produced at a very large scale. Close typically begins with a photograph of a face, creating a painting or print through a complex grid-based reconstruction of the image that he accomplishes by hand through one of many techniques that are unique to Close's work.

I like this painting because it looks very special. Very creative painting. Later, through a search on Chuck Close. I knew he was suffering from severe dyslexia. Knew he was later to become an artist I feel very admirable. Throughout his painting career. He had tried a variety of different painting methods, such as crayons, graphite, prints and so on. His painting technique is very skilled, most of his work is in black and white performance, I feel so much harder than color. The grid works very amazing, perfect color matching, color bright, the overall visual effect is very good,

Stephen Allwood

1959 New Zealand 
I like this work. Because of his simplicity bright colors, have a very strong visual effects. In particular, part of the whole spectacle, at first I thought it was a photo, because through the reflective mirror to see very clearly reflecting objects. I think this is highly painter painting techniques, I also like the way his performance, the entire picture has realistic feel, but when you watch carefully you can find a lot of painting techniques and only in painting embodies a visual results.



My Portraiture

I think this experience is very good. I'm really at MIT to learn a lot of different things. Such as this we have to learn how to make your own one frame. First we cut wood, I was the first to use chainsaw. First, building a stretcher. Have skills sure it is very secure. And then stretching a canvas, then doing the gesso.and we have blending gesso. Then gesso painting on canvas. Although the production process is somewhat complicated, but I do love the work. For me it is hard to come by experience, I feel that if I wanted to become a painter These are also the basic knowledge and skills.

   Haven't an artist yet ...Haha ...

My portraits are my classmates and friends Safari. I am very glad that she will be my partner, I think she is very beautiful. I like the color of her skin, big eyes and her special costumes. I chose as my entire painting with black background color because the color of her dress is very bright, I think it can better reflect her. I tend to draw more realism, because it is the first time painted figure painting I also hope that she will like. Oil paint is very good, the color will remain longer, the color will remain much longer, but the use is very troublesome, I do not like the taste of smell is very strong. I think the painting pigments need more practice to good use.

 

DAWSON STREET MURAL

12th June 2013

That a cool day. We did a mural on Dawson Street .

New Zealand Painting

1.Gottfried Lindauer was born in  Pilsen, Czech Republic in 1839. and died in 1926, Woodville. later a New Zealand artist famous for his portraits including that of the Māori. 

I first saw his work at Auckland Art Gallery. When I arrived in New Zealand almost do not know what is Maori and Maori culture. In the Auckland Art Gallery I first saw a group of about Maori portraits. Which impresses is the piece of Maori girls. Kind eyes and a noble woman who feels beautiful. Long hair and the body of the Maori accessories. At that time I really think this picture with Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is very similar. This is perhaps the Maori's Mona Lisa.

2.painting "AFTER"
The painting after means: Painting in the style of original or similar to the artist they are looking at.

3.

Because I really like these two paintings, their authors are New Zealand painter.

John Walsh earlier works having been exhibited mainly around his home territory

of Gisborne and the East Coast region of New Zealand. The protagonists in

Walsh’s paintings are often depicted with human bodies and faces .

His work is typified by a gentle humour, and a playful interpretation of circumstances.

Although I can not fully understand his work. Can not understand why he painted this picture. 

But I still really like it. Because I like his color. Most of his with a very calm colors. 

Giving a secluded feeling. But I did not in my after painting to do anything to change.

Because I did not understand the meaning of painting after. I just tried to imitate his original. 

But I still really like this picture.

If I have time later I will use my own ideas and then draw one.

ABSTRACTION:

A general idea not based on any particular real person, thing or situation, the quality of being abstract.Abstractions may be formed by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, typically to retain only information which is relevant for a particular purpose.

FIGURATIVE:

Used in a way that is different from the usual meaning. in order to create a
particular mental picture.

Figurative art: sometimes written as figurativism, describes artwork—particularly paintings and sculptures—which are clearly derived from real object sources, and are therefore by definition representational. "Figurative art" is often defined in contrast to abstract art.

A Short History of Painting

Claude Monet was born in Paris, France in 1840 and he was died in 1926 in Giverny France. I think when arrived in the French town of Giverny Monet's time, there was nothing, only a large outflow of water from the house next to the garden. Under a tree, pan a little blue flowers in advance clear translucent shadows, these seem to be the invention of his paintings inside. Then, one day, these are not enough: there are still too many lines and colors. Even if not precise enough, they still retain some residual sense of geometry. Crossed the creek, which marks the beginning of a new phase of Monet, it seems that he go out and suddenly found himself with a paintbrush unprecedented went into space. Just need a little bit of effort. Changing the flow of water, expand waters. Drooping note obscures the edge of the lake, in a large green under the shore of the land is difficult to say clearly where to start. This piece is no longer water garden borders, no more trails. Canvas deposited on the bottom of the boat. Finally, he enjoyed the thought process.

Early Monet Paris Louvre in Paris imitating the works of masters. Pierre - Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Xi Sili them together to create a new artistic techniques, namely outdoor and natural light with strong oil painting , later known as the Impressionists. 1890 - Monet began to focus and sustained by water lilies theme creation, in 1923, Monet had two cataract surgery to reduce his paintings by the impact of cataract symptoms: Because cataracts affected his vision, paintings overall bias red. It may be this: he can see some of the normal post-operative invisible ultraviolet light, which can affect the color he observes. After the surgery, he even repainted his works, bluer water lilies. Monet's Water Lilies Art and Industrial Museum, Saint-Etienne, France.



2.
Salvador Dali (Salvador Dali), 20 century painting in the world's most renowned painters, May 11, 1904 Born in the northeastern part of the Spanish province of Catalonia Figueres city. Like Picasso, Miro and Gaudi and other predecessors, the Catalan culture to grow. Salvador Dali's artistic achievements universally acknowledged that his creation was almost involved in a variety of popular art genre, such as Impressionism, Futurism, Cubism, Surrealism.

I like his work because he has created for us a singular unimaginable world. In his paintings we can not find how superb drawing skills or color. His work gave me a deep impression. I like him to an impossible becomes a miracle. He told us things variability. He regarded a enlightenment and a new beginning. He opened the sight we are to help us out of a limitation. I like his idea of ​​such a break and restructuring. He told me his head out from the long arm, the clock pointer is not limited to a 45 degree angle.
