Jasper Johns which are trial proofs and working proofs and listing (born 1930) has been making prints since 1960, and the mediumsof any hand-appliedadditions, amassing has masteredthe mediumsof lithography,screenprint, evidence of the evolution of his printed images.The and the various etching techniques in a body of over great majority of the working proofs have been saved; three hundredprinted works. More fundamental,how Johns discarded those he felt revealed nothing about ever, is the fact that Johns has incorporated the con his working procedure and were not interesting as 2 cepts intrinsic to printmaking —reflection, reversal, independentworks. and transfer—into all aspects of his art.

For some prints, changes others. He brings a similar approach to his such as Pinion (1963-66; ULAE 27), Johns returned prints, but in printmaking the proofing processallows to the stones of works never completed; for others, him to record the stages of an image's development: such as Flags II (1970; ULAE 86) and Decoy II Additions, subtractions,and other shifts are reflected (1971; ULAE125), rejected impressionsof previously in the extensive body of proofs that result from the completed images served as the foundation for new creation of each edition.

Johns has said That prints embody the history of thought and that the dark backgroundwas important as a meansto action inherent in their creation appealsto Johns's long-held fascination with visual memory and the evolutionary process of imagemaking. The proofs of his first printed endeavors, the portfolios 0-9 (1960-63; ULAE 17-19), illustrate how he would eventually exploit this aspect of printmaking and manipulate lithography in provocative ways. All the images of the portfolios were made from the samestone, erased and reworked after each number was printed. Onone proof, Johnsbracketed areas in the background in crayon and wrote "hold" to instruct the printers to reserve this part of the stone's history for 4 the next numeral. Johns has referred to the working proofs as "thoughts, experiments, and asides" that occurred during the working 5 process. The first work for which the evo lution can be traced through an extensive body of such "thoughts" is his celebrated 1964 lithograph Ale Cans.No preliminary drawings exist for this image, making the working proofs the only clues to its pro gressivedevelopment.

This juxtaposition and mirroring of like but dissimilar motifs became an important concern for Johns as he explored his vocabulary of 8 images in changingcontexts. The last working proof in the series is entirely printed, with the exception of the black crayon lines that loosely outline the image.The printed areas here are the same as those in the final, editioned print (cover). Most noticeably,Johns has returned in large part to the dimensional effects of the second proof (fig. 2). The printed labels closely resemble the painted versions of the earlier stage, though here, instead of shadows, Johns drew black lithographic crayon lines to suggestvolume.

  • Printmaking for Graphic Design Students in the Age of the Digital Screen: an Art, a Craft Or a Creative Intersection
    Arts and Design Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6061 (Paper) ISSN 2225-059X (Online) Vol.66, 2018 Printmaking for Graphic Design Students in the Age of the Digital Screen: An Art, a Craft or a Creative Intersection Dr Debra Livingston School of Communication and Creative Industries, University of the Sunshine Coast Maroochydore DC, Queensland, Australia 4556 Abstract This article discusses the research, exploration, practice and positive impact on student learning outcomes of a ‘Blended Learning’ initiative printmaking project course that was introduced into a digital platform-based graphic design program. Printmaking is the transference of an artwork via various means onto the surface of a substrate, mainly paper, involving media, technologies and crafts that are distinctly different to the digital platform. The pedagogical learning methods involved practice led-research where students explored various printmaking forms whilst developing creative works in these mediums. This practicum initiative for design students that do not have traditional art practices within their program structure was important as it furthers their education whilst developing a number of important personal qualities, particularly those of initiative, perseverance and self- reliance. Importantly, these traditional skills broadened their interplay and understanding between visual arts, the craft of printmaking with conventional and digital technical skills, resulting in a dynamic body of work for their portfolio. The course and following offerings included the conversion of their handcrafted work onto a digital platform into actual design outcomes, thus providing a clear link between the handcrafting and digital technology. Graphic design students completing the printmaking course embraced the opportunity to draw methods from cross‐ disciplinary pursuits to compliment and extend their knowledge and to support fresh, contemporary ideas in which to contribute to their various major design studies.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Marks Artist's First Solo
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kim Hugo, (860) 838-4082 [email protected] Image files to accompany publicity of this exhibition will be available for download at http://press.thewadsworth.org. Email to request login credentials. Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Marks Artist’s First Solo Museum Exhibition in the U.S. Hartford, Conn. (September 15, 2020)—Ali Banisadr draws freely from an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of painting to create a distinctive visual language, resulting in works that explore a “between space,” like those of hallucinations and dreams. Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the U.S. Ten paintings and two prints by Banisadr join a selection of works from the Wadsworth collection chosen by the artist, as well as a video collage that Banisadr created to show additional inspiration works from the museum’s collection. The exhibition opens October 22, 2020 and will be on view through February 14, 2021. “Banisadr’s depictions of abstracted masses feel especially relevant right now,” says Patricia Hickson, Emily Hall Tremaine Curator of Contemporary Art at the Wadsworth. “His compositions echo the disquiet we are witnessing across the world today, including political rallies, protest marches, and street riots. And yet, as timely as they are, they are equally timeless.” Banisadr’s process has been related to synesthesia as sounds instruct the energy and rhythm in his painterly compositions. His perception of sound as inextricably linked to color and form began in his native Tehran, Iran during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988)— the artist recalls drawing while sheltering at home.

  • About the Exhibition the Year 2020 Is a Historic One for the Evansville Museum’S Biennial Mid-States Art Exhibition, As It Marks Its Jubilee Anniversary
    About the Exhibition The year 2020 is a historic one for the Evansville Museum’s biennial Mid-States Art Exhibition, as it marks its Jubilee Anniversary. The biennial exhibition provides recognition for emerging artists and the opportunity to receive a purchase or merit award. Selected for this retrospective are top award- winning works spanning sixty years which provide a unique overview of the development in trends and techniques of artists in the Midwest. The annual juried competition was organized in 1948 by the Museum’s Director, Charles Bogg; Registrar, Florita Eichel; and Museum Trustee William A. Gumberts. Originally named the Tri- State Art Exhibition, the competition accepted paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, and crafts for consideration by a jury of two or three art professionals. In the first decade, the number of entries steadily grew; and, in 1960, the Museum organized a separate regional juried exhibition devoted to craft. The Mid- State Craft Exhibition and the Mid-States Art Exhibition were presented annually until 1994 when the decision was made to offer one regional juried competition each year and the two competitions became biennials. The competition is open to artists residing in the six Midwestern states of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Missouri. In the exhibition’s sixty-year history, the purchase and merit awards donated by local individuals, businesses, corporations, and philanthropic organizations have allowed the Evansville Museum to purchase 326 works for the Mid-States Art Collection. On this Jubilee Anniversary, we congratulate all the artists who have participated in the Mid-States Art Exhibition and thank the many generous patrons whose gifts have made the acquisition of this important collection possible.

Running head: The Benefits of Implementing Visual Arts 1 Benefits of Implementing Visual Arts for Elementary School Students Desiree C. Conway California State University, Monterey Bay The Benefits of Implementing Visual Arts for Elementary School Students 2 Abstract Walking into an elementary classroom you might have observed that visual arts have been consistently disappearing from elementary school classrooms. Visual arts curriculum is especially important in elementary schools because it helps students to fully understand concepts in other areas of their academics. This senior capstone will focus and discuss the many benefits of implementing visual arts into an elementary school classroom. Through the use of literature review and interviews with teachers. The findings reveal that when visual arts are implemented into elementary schools, they do indeed serve students well and have positive effects in all academic areas of elementary school students.
