How do these artists use texture in a unique way? Why is line variation so important in art? Artist Statement My paintings are a right-brained approach to observing, dissecting, and recording the objective subject matter found in the lakes, rivers, prairies, and forests of south central Iowa. As my intimacy with the land surrounding me evolves so do my approaches for depicting the complexities of varying terrains and the plants and animals that occupy them. Each of my gouache paintings is a fictitious ecosystem that has been broken down into a series of vignettes. Each vignette describes the decay, growth, and interaction between the flora and fauna of that imagined place. Although bold colors, repeating patterns, and flattened space make the paintings appear fantastic in nature, each scene is based off an observation. I am constantly inspired by the complexities of the natural world. My work is an ever evolving narrative about the interconnectedness of all things and the functions of an organism in a community of plants and animals. Jane Ryder

José Guadalupe Posada (February 2, 1852 – January 20, 1913) was a Mexican political printmaker and engraver whose work has influenced many Latin American artists and cartoonists because of its satirical acuteness and social engagement. He used skulls, calaveras, and bones to make political and cultural critiques. Posada's best known works are his calaveras, which often assume various costumes, such as the Calavera de la Catrina, the "Skull of the Female Dandy", which was meant to satirize the life of the upper classes during the reign of Porfirio Díaz. Most of his imagery was meant to make a religious or satirical point. Since his death, however, his images have become associated with the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos, the "Day of the Dead".

Elizabeth Catlett (April 15, 1915-April 2, 2012) was an African-American graphic artist and sculptor best known for her depictions of the African-American experience in the 20th century, which often had the female experience as their focus. She was born and raised in Washington, D.C. to parents working in education, and was the grandchild of freed slaves. It was difficult for a black woman in this time to pursue a career as a working artist, and Catlett devoted much of her career to teaching. Her subjects range from sensitive maternal images to confrontational symbol of the Black Power, as well as portraits of Martin Luther King, Jr., Harriet Tubman and writerPhyllis Wheatley, believing that art can play a role the construction of transnational and ethnic identity. Her best-known works depict black women as strong and maternal. The women are voluptuous, with broad hips and shoulders, in positions of power and confidence, often with torsos thrust forward to show attitude. Elizabeth Catlett "I have always wanted my art to service my people — to reflect us, to relate to us, to stimulate us, to make us aware of our potential." -“Art is only important to the extent that it aids in the liberation of our people.” What do you think is the main theme of Elizabeth's Catlett's work? How do you think her work could influence others?

Cannonball Press Cannonball Press is run by two people: Martin Mazorra and Mike Houston. We're based in Brooklyn, NY. Since 1999, we've been publishing woodcuts, relief prints, screenprints, & letterpress prints, and selling them for $20 a a pop. From the start, our mission has been to produce high-quality, affordable, one-pass black & white prints by artists we like. In addition to publishing, we started to make large scale collaborative prints, sculptures, and installations made entirely out of woodcuts. The work that we have produced has taken us to Hong Kong, Estonia, South Africa, Maui, Germany, Denmark and Finland, as well as to numerous U.S. cities coast to coast. We've Lectured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, numerous universities and printmaking conferences, and in 2009 we were proud to have been named United States Artists Ford Fellows. We'll always try to make compelling prints people can enjoy and afford, and hopefully add some small chapter to the rich history of printmaking.

For this project we will be trying printmaking out for the first time. The surface we will be carving into is linoleum. With this process we will be able to make many copies of your drawing. Remember if you are using text you will need to write the text backwards because the final will be a mirror image of the linoleum block. Materials: Printmaking, linoleum Themes: Unique perspective Family traditions/ heritage Unique experiences Unique hobbies Unique likes Unique talents What images would you use to convert these themes? Agenda: create a word web similar to the one we did at the beginning of the year. Pick your theme and draw the first images that come to mind. Meet in the gallery in a large circle and share out theme. Print making examples below
