Silkscreening 101 - Intro to printmaking

This was a down and dirty screen printing process.  We had to draw with the inks directly onto the screen and create a complete composition on the screen and have it made in one pull.  So I decided to go with a cartoon approach.  The theme was to create something from our past memories.  I remembered having my braces just put on and the horrors of being called BRACE FACE!  I uploaded some images of the process and the finished image.

Cézanne and American Modernism - Phoenix Art Museum Exhibit

I went to the Cézanne exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum.  It was awesome to see the work in person and not exclusively from a book.  His brushwork and knowledge of color -astounding.  One thought though, I would have preferred viewing his work all together in one room than mixed in with other artists that were influenced by Cézanne.   It made it more difficult to view, a lack of continuity.   A must see.
