This was an artist book I made and turned in today as my final project for Artist books: Pop-Up.
The class was a great learning experience and difficult, but rewarding. It was taught by Instructor Susan Lowdermilk. She is an amazing artist who is a print-maker and artist's book maker.
Also, she will be my Instructor next term and will be teaching Intaglio printmaking.
Furthermore, she promised to teach me mezzotint printmaking which makes me so happy I am spinning in circles in my chair as I write this.
For now, here is my artist book, called Itsy-Bitsy Spider. I didn't write it, just illustrated it.
 |
| The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. |
 |
| Down came the rain and washed the spider out. |
 |
| (The spider comes down the spout by pushing down on the tab in the previous panel.) |
 |
| Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. |
 |
| And the itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the drain again. |
I didn't get photos of the title, ending, and front and back covers, but I can upload them later.
Nice work, Daniel! My neighbor Nikole took several classes in printmaking, and has rave reviews about the instructor as well. I just learned about printmaking and mezzotint in my art class; good on you! That will be a great skill to add to your repertoire.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamara, An Instructor can make all the difference between loving and hating a new thing and Susan has a love and passion for what she teaches that is infectious.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to rising of the sun of the printmaking class even though this term is just now sinking down over the western hills.
