Amate Bark Paintings + Animal Printmaking + Lions in the Jungle

Amate Bark Paintings and Animal Printmaking

Traditional Latin American Painting Project 

Some Examples.

Amate is a special tree bark paper.

We will be simulating the texture of this paper by using kraft paper; crumpling it up and using ink over the top.

Then we will be working out our designs.

Stylized designs:

1 main focus in the composition

Surrounded by flora, fauna, or border pattern of some sort.  

Here are two more examples.

Then we draw , paint, and finally outline our composition.

Animal Printmaking 4/5.

Our main focus will be the animal and surrounding it, a patterned border.

We are looking for realism.  But are focused on the contour line of the animal first, then the details.

We will be having the option of a two color print.

First color: Light  Second color: Dark

Lions in the Jungle.
