We are All Obamagraphics Now!
Inauguration Day: Regardless of country, color or creed, truly we are all Obamagraphics now.
Of course, anybody can make an automatic Obamagraphic generator, but what about a real labor of love to celebrate this proud day? Check out these truly great hand-carved, hand-pulled student prints (by non-art majors):
At Inkteraction, Mary Sherwood Brock explains:
Last semester I had my non art majors work on a 3 color reduction linocut… I chose to use the Shepard Fairey image of Obama as a model and it worked out very well on many levels. I could show students how the layers went together and as an added benefit, the project was due on the same week as the election, so focus was intense. I was personally happy to have a big poster of Obama beaming over the classroom for the weeks leading up to the election.
