We have learned about two dimensional technique of printmaking, and drawing and painting. In this discussion board we will contrast these three techniques. Please choose a drawing, print or painting from the chapters we have covered so far to make your observations about and consider the following questions:
What are some of the ways the drawing, painting and printmaking techniques differ in their history and development?
Why would an artist prefer one technique over another? There were distinct reasons for using each technique, what are those and what effect do they have on the aesthetics of the art work? Think of these in terms of the formal qualities that we learned about in the first section. Review these if you need to.
Please post the image that you choose, points will be deducted if you choose not to post the image.
