Printmaking

I found this self portrait in the Washington Post online.  It first stood out to me because of the contrast and divide between the blacks and white and the positive and negative space. I like how there are no grays and only blacks and whites.  I also really like how it makes the viewer unsure as to what is the positive space or what is the negative space.  I also really like the line quality and the really thick lines.  the lines in the face really stand out to me.  The second reason why this drawing stood out to me is because it was done by an 8th grader.  After making my first drawing in the printmaking studio last week, I am very impressed by this 8th grader.
