Etching

Etchings Throughout History The engraving technique tends to hold the label for one of the oldest art forms. Designs and language have been found engraved on such items like prehistoric bones and stones, as well as the inside of cave walls. These artifacts have been assigned to the ancient Sumerians which dated to around 3000 BCE (Peterdi, 2018). This technique of engraving or etching on such materials has since been passed down for centuries and still currently being used in today’s art world. One reason as to why it’s a common method of an art form, is that an etch or engraving is semi-permeable, if the object which has the engraving on is not destroyed. One cannot simply erase an etched image, and in more advanced methods of etching, it…

Growing up, I remember always looking out the car window and staring at all the tall buildings. I’ve always been fascinated by the little things in life. This artwork instantly reminded me of how I looked at buildings myself as a child. I wondered if Hugh Mackenzie and I had something in common. When I came across this painting I actually stopped and stared, acknowledged and appreciated the hard work of etching. In pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a…

[2] Five years after hooks’ published her essay, artist Kara Walker’s etching “Untitled (John Brown)” expands the essay’s ideas to apply to more mediums than simply cinema. Walker’s piece is a physical embodiment of the very skepticism hooks has theorized. The seemingly unfinished sketch is her take on the moment when radical white abolitionist John Brown is being led to his execution for leading the infamous Harper’s Ferry raid. A famous lithograph that was distributed throughout the nation…

The nickel layer typically has a purpose as a conducting metal used for sending a potential difference to vibrate the PZT by piezoelectric effect. In addition, the nickel layer is also has a role as a mechanical support having PZT is fragile. Piezo electrode patterning incorporates wet etching process using liquid chemicals or etchants to take off materials from its substrate. The etchant used in this lab is Nickel etchant TFB composed of nitric acid, potassium perfluoroalkyl sulfonate and…

The two works that I have chosen are the painting “The Glorification of St. Ignatius” by Andrea Pozzo, and the etching print “Snowstorm In The Village” by John Sloan.

There are several men working in the background, and one man stands in the foreground looking at something to the right. The skyline of the city is visible in the background, and there are large, sweeping lines of varying…

He was British, and he was one of the many kids who had been born with no leg or arm limbs in the eighteenth century. The main reason to why this is just an amazing art piece is because though Inglefield lacked limbs, he was able to achieve his dream. Inglefield had a passion for fashion, and…

This collection presented the condemnation of follies and foolishness is a rather informal, almost free form way, a…
