I chose Albrecht

Durer’s “Flower”

illustration to

compare to my Eiffel

tower drawing,

because I love the

hatching techniques

he uses to show the

shadow.

ART HISTORY ASSESSMENT 1

Albrecht Durer, “Flower” n.d.

Albrecht Durer is a

very interesting artist.

He uses the hatching

techniques that we’re

using in art now. I

think that is very

interesting to know a

real artist that uses

what we’re using.

SIMILARITIES

Albrecht Durer image is

somewhat similar to mine,

because the hatching we used

for the flower’s shading is

similar. They both have flowers!

The mood is kind of the same

for each picture, they’re both

very peaceful and happy.

DIFFERENCES

There are many differences between my illustration

and Albrecht Durer’s illustration.

• Albrecht Durer’s picture has more hatching

than my image.

• The positions of the pictures are very different.

• The meaning is different too, his image shows a

flower growing where you wouldn’t usually see a

flower grow . Where as my image shows the

excitement of first seeing something and

automatically loving it.

REFLECTION

I think Albrecht Durer would like my image. I

used the hatching techniques that he is famous

for. I know I didn’t do as well of a job as he did

but I think he would like that I tried.

I think he would like the way I used his work

to inspire me. I love the way he used hatching

to show shadow, and I used that in my work. I

do think that he would like some of my work.
