Tools for

engraving

1.        Draw a still-life, for example, a bowl of fruit using points for painting the form and obtaining a feeling of volume.  Make one in black and white (felt-tip-pen) and other using coloured pencils (watercolours or pens).

2.        Paint a landscape   using fine or heavy parallel lines according to the effect of depth or volume that you want to give. Draw the same landscape realising it with wavy and coloured lines like Van Gogh’s pictures

3.        Look for an art work in some book. About this image, create a new composition with flat forms. Cut glossy paper, silk paper and cardboards of colours and transform the artistic work

4.        Make a free composition mixing several textures in contrast to it.
