QUENTIN BLAKE-ILLUSTRATOR

QUENTIN BLAKE

Quentin Saxby Blake (born 16 December 1932 in Kent) is an English cartoonist, illustrator and children's author, well known for his collaborations with writer Roald Dahl.
Artistic style
His distinct artistic style uses fast, scribbly ink lines, but with a precise stroke. His idiosyncratic use of line adds depth to his drawings, conveying movement and creating images with a sense of excitement. First, he makes pen-and-ink drawings, and then adds watercolour. The spontaneity of his style is achieved by making a draft image with a free hand at first, and then tracing elements via light table from the first draft onto subsequent drafts.

PAINTINGS OF MUSIC

Kandinsky and Music

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kandinsky_WWI.jpg

Paint music just as Kandinsky did. Play some music, close your eyes and use your imagination. Think about the way the music makes you feel. With your eyes closed, imagine the sounds of the music: colors - Are they bright or dark? shapes - Do thy have straight lines or soft or wavy?

ABSTRACT ART

Abstract art, nonfigurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, although perhaps not of identical meaning.

Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete.

Naïve art

Naïve art is a classification of art that is often characterized by a childlike simplicity in its subject matter and technique. While many naïve artists appear, from their works, to have little or no formal art training, this is often not true.Read more:

Cubism

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.
