2009 online exhibit








This piece is entitled Cirriculum.   

In the education system the core curriculum of schools are often based on subjects such as Science, Math, and English.  Other "elective" subjects, like Art, are thrown away just like a piece of garbage.  Art should be included in this core curriculum in schools because it enriches the lives of students in so many ways. 

This is a Lithograph, created using a subtractive technique.  First, I lay down an application of litho crayon/pencil.  Then I take a razor blade to make my marks.  On this particular image I drew the apple core and darkened the area within, then I subtracted to add details.  The area around the core was created just by making marks and detail with the pencil.
