Icebreaker - 3D Self Portrait - Heads/Busts



Each piece is cut separately, layer by layer



Tutor said that we can create 3d Self portrait by using whatever we want. I have decided to make 3D self portrait using cardboard and after paint using Acrylic paint. I started by creating a contour sketch. My inspiration was Ale Rambar who is an artist from Cost Rica. He creates stunning paper portraits.



"I create my paper art to talk about issues of tolerance for the environment in which we live, for the people who live in it and for our representations of love. It see it as an artistic exploration in favor of equality, love, respect and sexual diversity, expressed in works of art that seek to open spaces for conversation." - Ale Rambar





his work:



His studio at San Jose, Costa Rica has light pink walls since that is the hue which he use the most and represent his style. He finished architecture in 2013. Ale creates 3-dimensional compositions made with many layers of paper. He uses watercolour and pastel chalks for his creations.


He describes his work as: Humane, Detailed and Layered

His favourite paper which he uses is from Italian Favini brand (Prisma Line) 

He admire several artists: Ambe Noriko, Rogan Brown and Lucha Rodriguez. 



Ambe Noriko is born in Saitama, Japan, 1967. She graduated BFA/ Oil Painting, Musashino Art University in Tokyo.

Artist research - Michael Martchenko - Canadian illustrator

Image
Michael Martchenko was born in 1942 in Carcassone, France and, as a boy, became interested in comic books and cartoons. When he was seven years old, his family moved to Canada where he attended Ontario College of Arts in 1966. While working as a creative director at an advertising company, he was noticed and approached by an author of children's books, Robert Munsch and his publishing house. The two artists quickly found out that they have a lot in common and their fruitfull partnership was born. It can first be appreciated in  The Paper Bag  published in 1980. Ten years later, Martchenko published his own children's book,  Birdfeeder Banquet , wich was well accepted by the critics and often compared to his earlier works with Munsch.  His work was described as full of humour and panache. Within the same decade, he began working with Allen Morgan on his series about nighttime escapades of a young boy, again gaining the approval of the critics who said his illustration...

I Hate Art - Angry Dog - Edvard Munch

Image
Angry Dog is a painting by Edvard Munch painted in 1938-43 the painting shows a big black angry dog with the tongue hanging out. The dog is standing outside in the grass and there are birch trees behind it. the dog is looking at the viewer clearly angry. We can only see the front half of its body. This painting ia a story between Edward and his neigbours dog. The painting is carelessly painted as if by a child. I do not like the fact that the brushstrokes are thick,  defined because it makes the painting seem unfinished unflatering without any techniques and skill. The paint is smeared on the canvas which has many visible blank spaces.  For me, the painting should be more realistic and precise with many details. I am not a fan of abstract composition. I do not like the subject of this artwork. In my opinion, the subject matter of a painting should be pleased on the eyes and give joy. Image reference: https://munch.emuseum.com/articles/24317
