Monoprint

Workloads are heavy, and my interactions with kids has been plentiful! Yes, I would love to be in my studio more producing my own pieces but, my education and finishing what I started does come first. May 2010 is not that far away. I had a fantastic opportunity to pull monoprints the other day at CCS. We (my class) were given a full demonstration then provided the materials to pull are own. This is all leading up to an assignment I have due in a couple weeks. So, what should my final monoprint be? Lately, and I'm not sure why but I have this attraction and obsession of Picasso and his Analytical Cubism period he went through. I know the final monoprint has to be 18x24, so, I've been thinking about doing a self-portrait based on this style of art. Not only because I like it but, to learn more about it and how I take it into the classroom as a lesson plan. During this period his abstract art had some identifiable parts in it, but still crossed the realm of abstract art. Well, I'm thinking I want to hide multiple faces within the piece of artwork. Just a thought, but I think there is a bigger idea in there and something that needs to be explored. On a lighter note I everything is well for you and your life. Take care and allow the creative juices to flow freely everyday of your life! :)
