Art Gallery Lecture By Collecotor Gerald Mead,
Todays Lecture by Gerald Mead, made me see and visualize art in a whole new way. coming into the art gallery made me feel unsteady because i didnt know what i was looking at or looking for in the arts of the collections of gerald Mead. This lecture open and explained a whole new door for me to understand the meaning of what techniques where used from the 18 centurey to are time today. Inside todays lecture Gerald Mead explains all the different techniques used inside different process in art starting with woodcuts those who dont know what it is formally known as Xylography - is a relif printing artistic technique in printmaking in which an image is carved into the surface of a block of wood, with the printing parts remaining level with the surface while the non-printing parts are removed, typically with gouges. Other technique of art that were intrested that were explained are lithographs and silkscreens , lithographs is a method for printing using a plate or stone with a completely smooth surface. Lithography uses oils or fats and water to divide the smooth surface into hydrophobic regions which accept the ink, and hydrophilics regions which reject it and thus become the background. silkscreen are very intresting beacause their used everyday on all different materials such as t-shirts, wood , paper and different fabrics. This process is done by :
The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas.
Those who have not yet heard or seen any work by Gerald mead i recommend you go to one of his lectures.
