Question

How did Escher make his works of art more dramatic , answer quickly

Answer 1

Escher used black and white. High contrast, which dramatized his art and also brought more attention to what he was drawing, not just the colours.

His “impossible constructions” were shocking. He played with perspective and juxtaposition in a way that couldn’t possibly be true in real life. The audience has to do a double take. Angles and shapes were twisted in impossible ways.

Answer 2

He used 3 main techniques he used to create the majority of his works were printmaking, lithography and mezzotints. He would transfer the drawing to wood and start carving the areas away that he didn’t want printed. His prints involved several different blocks of wood in order to get mid tones and different colors he would use ink to ink them onto paper
