Propaganda piece

Charles wrapped up work today on an assignment in painting for four pieces, each done in a different style.

Stencil painting - an Ikebana-inspired piece. The white vase is a ceramic tile on which he painted "Akebono" (Akebono was the first foreigner to ever reach the rank of Yokozuna in sumo), the other mark is "Iwakuni" (where he learned about Ikebana)

Encaustic painting - basically wax and paint. Charles collected all the scraps/leftover wax from the other student's projects and made a 3-D piece.

Gesso board, sanded by hand - spray painted fourteen colors on eight geometric stencils.

Photo transfer - the figure on a horse is from the Crazy Horse monument with oil pastel, gobs of oil paint and marker.  

The propaganda piece is from his printmaking class. Charles thinks he's come a long way in such a short time in this class!!
