First Reference: Adolfo Serra

Art



In Art class, each classmate chose an illustrated tale made for children, the one that we liked the most and that caught our attention. Some of my partners and I, chose the book "Red Riding Hood" illustrated by Adolfo Serra. The book has illustrations like the ones below:

Then, the classmates that chose this book and I, were told to make an analysis of one chosen illustration:

Why is this my first reference?
Adolfo Serra will be my first reference because his technique is very nice, his illustrations are adequate and very well performed, and also I think it fits with my art style. Thanks to the brush stroke technique, the contrast of light and dark colors, the way he communicates undirected messages, emphasis and harmony he develops in his illustrations, I really liked what he can do and how he communicates ideas.
I am going to use some of Serra's concepts to develop and complete the interdisciplinary unit project which is about Latin-American identity.
