*edit*


This is an example of chops used for printing in early asian culture. I found this image online. I also have a real life stamping from a chop that I could not find but I decided to use this image because it shows how the chops were used and how images were formed with the concept of negative space. The quality of these images are very detailed for being a stamp the chinese put a lot of work into making them. The bright color and detail of the markings on the animals attracted me to the piece.

  1. I like that you showed a picture of the chops because it gives more examples and a better understanding of what they were used for. It would have been really awesome if you could have found the chop that you have, but otherwise this picture relates well. Nice job! :P

  2. I like that you picked something different from just chosing the alphabet like a lot of the rest of us did. I like how this are images of the Chinese New Year. This picture relates well to class because I know we spent a couple of days going over Chops. Nice!

  3. It's a pretty cool picture of the printed Chinese zodiac. An excelent example of the Asian contribution we talked about.
