cop: study task 9

What are they?

Japanese / Traditional / Aesthetics / Floating World (Ukiyo-e) / Communication / Fineliner / Replication / Block Colour / Repurposing / Woodblock Printing

What do they mean?

I chose these words because they are key points to my essay. Japanese and Woodblock Printing are obvious, as this is the main focus of my essay. Aesthetics relates more to my journal as this is what I tried to tackle within that. Ukiyo-e is one of the types of Japanese print that I looked at the most, as it's the most interesting to me. Replication and Re-purposing are about me and others taking the traditional Japanese art and doing it again for different means. Fineliner and Block colour are about the aesthetics of the art that I want to try and replicate within my journal. 

Relate the words together in pairs and write why they relate to your project – be specific.
