Zen Buddhist ink
Zen Buddhist ink and brush painting of bamboo. This painting symbols strength, meditation and it's a very specific technique. The bamboo symbols strength because it moves with the course of nature. It bends but doesn't break.
Japanese woodblock print -ukiyo-e
This woodblock print is stylish especially the figures and faces. The patterns are very intricate and there's many asymmetrical views upon the piece. All of the woodblock prints were from a series called the 'floating world'. The 'floating world' indicates the world that went on in the tea houses where men were entertained by the figures in the prints. The figures are always shown dancing or playing a musical instrument or sometimes acting as well. There were very similar to advertisements to show all the different geishas in the tea houses.
Indian Art - Krishna
The painting is very bright and has many different colours in it, the painting is also set in an ideal landscape. Also these paintings are usually painted miniature which is usually good for books. And there's a range of paintings with very bright coloured patterned boards which works really well.
These paintings were always inspired by the indian gods and goddesses, essentially they were illustrations. Helping the reader to understand their religion a bit more.
William Blake - Newton the Divine Geometer
This painting is William's own interpretation of Christianity, it also includes illustrations. The figures always have very defined musculature. The scientist Newton was like a god because he told us all about the universe and the law of gravity.
