India Ink,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Also Known as Indian Ink, Chinese Ink, Liquid Indian Ink, <\/span>is traditionally a carbon black ink mixed with gum and resin, moulded into sticks. The name ‘India Ink’ is thought to be a misnomer which originated in Europe when this ink, actually from China, was imported via the Indies. \u00a0For more information on The History of Indian Ink<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n

How to use India Ink, traditionally \u00a0people use a brush or a pen, or a wooden stylus they dip in the ink and then draw with. \u00a0But you can really use anything from your finger to a well cooked strand of spaghetti!<\/span><\/div>\n

Take a look at the ink drawings of Christian Brechneffs<\/strong>. I really like the curiosity and investigative inquiry he puts into his drawings.<\/p>\n

Here is a video of an Artist, somewhere in Europe, simply sitting outside, observing the architecture, the trees and the way the light and shadows play upon them an through calligraphic mark making and a few of ink washes
\nproduces very nice work in a classical style.<\/p>\n

Here is an artist, Laraine Armenti, who has an edgy looseness to their work- not all the works are in ink… but worth a look! \u00a0\u00a0Laraine Armenti<\/a><\/p>\n

In this project what I am looking for is you to make illustrations for a book we are producing next year entitled ‘J.O. Cooks” \u00a0a recipe book made up from the families and staff of our JO community. \u00a0The quality of the book is geared towards line drawings- hence our use of ink. \u00a0What I am imagining for the book is text and pics for each page- maybe the page numbers and the header\/footer also in ink- if you are interested in working with me on it, and in Grade 11 this year, let me know.<\/p>\n

Day One: \u00a0I want you to play with ink. \u00a0There will be Ink, Pens and brushes on the centre table along with a vast array of objects. \u00a0Please spend your time observing, and drawing the objects in ink- Note that ink is unforgiving, one you make a make it can not be erased. \u00a0So either do not make mistakes or give yourself permission to make mistakes and incorporate them into you work! \u00a0Keep ALL YOU DRAWINGS!!!!<\/p>\n
