Digital vs. Traditional

Maurits Cornelis Escher
June 17, 1898-March 27, 1972
He was one of the world's most famous graphic artists. He did realistic work during the time he lived and traveled in Italy. He was a sickly child, and was placed in a special school at the age of seven and failed the second grade. Though he excelled at drawing, his grades were generally poor. He also took carpentry and piano lessons until he was thirteen years old. In 1919, Escher attended the Harlem School of Architecture and Decorative Arts.

Rind 1955 wood engraving and woodcut
Maurits Cornelis


Description: a wood carving with what appears to be a human’s face. This picture is creative because it looks like a ribbon thrown in the air a formed a figure.
Analyze: the picture was painted but the face was to make it seem it was carved out of wood. The color n shade is very balance.
Interpretation: I like the picture its unique and creative
Judgment: the picture is good and well managed.
