Last time we took a first look at a Clara Matynka high-school art portfolio, and thought with chagrin about mothers concealing their talents for mysterious reasons.
The smaller portfolio, found inside the big one, is quite plain.
It contains one each of a variety of work. Maybe it was a selection from the semester's work, handed in for grading.
It starts off with studies in perspective drawing, basic shapes, shadow, and stippling, followed by still life in pencil . . .
. . . self-portrait in pencil, detail work in pen-and-ink, and then that puppy.
This puppy began as a pencil drawing, but then it turned into a print of some kind. "Linoleum-block print?" Someone help me out here. The black background looks like black, black ink, such as I sometimes saw other kids get to roll around with an ink-roller in art class. The surface is shiny and solid, in that it does not shed anything, and it is on thick, sturdy cardboard.
I never saw any of these things until the other day. Did anyone else see them, or know about them?
