Onomatopeia project


Onomatopoeia. Is an enviromental sound presented without ballons, in bold or 3D text in upper case. Sometimes it has exclamations points. This is a method of drawing attention to text, it often highlights onomatopeia and reinforces the impact of words such as Bang or Wow.


To explain this exercise it is interesting to look at some artworks by the Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein.



Watch the following tutorial: Drawing an onomatopeya.

Woking with... colour

What happens when we change the colours of a drawing. Do we still get the same feeling?

These are the real colours.

Any colour you want.

Colours from the same spectrum.
EXPRESSIONISM (Germany, 1905-1933)
Expressionism emerged simultaneously in various cities across Germany as a response to a widespread anxiety about humanity's increasingly discordant relationship with the world and accompanying lost feelings of authenticity and spirituality.
  1. The arrival of Expressionism announced new standards in the creation and judgment of art. Art was now meant to come forth from within the artist, rather than from a depiction of the external visual world, and the standard for assessing the quality of a work of art became the character of the artist's feelings rather than an analysis of the composition.
  2. Expressionist artists often employed swirling, swaying, and exaggeratedly executed brushstrokes in the depiction of their subjects. These techniques were meant to convey the turgid emotional state of the artist reacting to the anxieties of the modern world.
