Loteria Crazy



The series that I am working on is the result of taking Fenella's wonderful printmaking class at PVCC. The techniques and materials that we used in the class were very primitive due to the large size of the class and the absence of an area specifically designated for printmaking. This sounds like a negative thing, but it worked out quite the opposite. Fenella and the students encouraged each other to take the simplest technique as far as it could go. The results were quite striking- many pieces became mixed media and a few even became 3-D. I encourage anyone with the slightest artistic inclination to take this class. It is so much fun!
Well, my point is that my last two projects for the class have been the catalyst for my current obsession with loteria (Mexican bingo). These are pics of finished linocuts and works in progress.
