2. Observations are what you see with your eyes which create images depicted in your mind, recorded into a subtle memory. The difference is that skill, applies elements of practice, talent, and commitment, to be able to recreate organic images in a physical form
3. Anna’s father, John George Children, has been a huge influence in her life. Because of her mothers death, he has raised her throughout her childhood. John was a scientist, and his work inspired her to create art based on his career. He had her help and observe his projects, and lectures to teach her. With her artistic talented and poetic work, she managed to create work of her own.
4. The value of studying plants is an important part of art and biology. We can study and learn more about plants, get in touch with nature and learn about the environment, while making beautiful creations in return.
5. The quality of the prints are detailed beautifully and because of how old they are. they have a retro touch. The prints come out with a blue hue. Her technique that she developed fits with the art industry and is considered as a historical context.
6. I think that Atkin has really developed a solid style. Her notebook scraps show her attention and process towards her inspiration. As a result she created crisp, simplistic and professional art. The quality and structure shows in the contrast.
7. I think her style was unique in the way she delivered it But in my opinion directly, I think that her style was based on the sources that she had access to at the time. If she had discovered newer and more advanced techniques, I think that maybe she might loose her retro touch, but at the same time, develop a newer more convenient style.
If I were to create a series of images it would be on brain scans representing mental illness. I would recreate them as stippled illustrations to study different mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and BPD(Borderline Personality Disorder)
