The work presented is a preview of my upcoming senior show ideas. Any criticism or comments would be appreciated.
Please respond to the following questions:
- Is the printmaking style in the collage of random items more successful than the hand drawn elements of the skull drawing?
- Would it be better to use writing of lyrics in my drawings to help define the story of my personal experiences?
* The skull image was made most recently.
Thanks and until next time!

The engagement in these drawing is immensely improved from many other drawings I've seen from you. :) You seem like you were enjoying creating them... GREAT!
The top one is a bit confusing with the rectangular object in the center, but there is a certain quality I am enjoying aesthetically with the printmaking... however, the drawing is much more detailed, so it really depends on what you are going for.
Two things to consider working out..
- in the top one, where the red meets the blue in the center, it gets a little mucky.
- In the drawing, I enjoy the yellow, but I find the red (dead center) to be a little distracting. If it were me, I would either add a little more color, or get rid of the red
I find the elements in the print more appealing. I think the style of line and color the print helps with the central theme of memory.
memory is about overlapping and collision of ideas. Printmaking has a lot of those qualities. But I do also believe you are capable of achieving the same qualities with a drawing. i do not however believe that text is necessary. Words are hard to incorporate in work, they often become the main focus. I think the more ambiguous approach is what you want. Although it is about your story, that personal experience doesn't have to be what the viewer takes from the piece.
I notice a feet in front in the foreground. I notice hard solid lines on some fo the objects. I notice a cartoony look. I see a stronger potential with the bottom one or the skull. The top one looks like abstracts I've seen before and is not as new as a style.
