UKIYO-E japaneese woodcut

notice the nike's and the dog

notice the pizza cutter and the pizza slice

This is what my first project is.  I am to research the UKIYO-E style woodblock prints, find one I like and copy it exactly, but I am to add something to the image that makes the piece a personal narrative.  Who I am, what I like, something that describes me.  The examples above are student works that Jeff showed me and are the best out of the lot. =)

Played around with color and composition.  Not really focusing on what colors I want to use right now just using analogous and complimentary colors.

Today is my first venture into my double major in printmaking and communication design.  My first assignment for intro to printmaking is to experiment with mixing and printing color on different media to see how opaque and transparent colors act with each other when printed on a diverse type of paper media.  This assignment will help me figure out how to mix and apply my colors with a desired outcome.
