Multi-Block Printing:
You are what you eat
Still life Symbolic self-Portrait
Many artists historically have used food as a subject for still lives and symbolic representation. For this project, students will consider food and nutrition as their subject matter, as a reflection of themselves. Each student will choose an edible item to symbolically represents them. Each student will design a multi-block print combining stamping and linoleum. A small series of prints with a variety of color combinations will be made to enhance the original design.
Interesting Artists!
