caricatur on Mr. BIG


Mr. Big is a hard rock group that formed in 1988. The band is a quartet composed of Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass), and Pat Torpey (drums); Mr Big also included Richie Kotzen, a reputable blues-based guitarist who replaced Gilbert in 1999. The band is noted especially for their musicianship, and scored a number of hits.[1] Their songs were often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include "To Be With You" (Billboard Hot 100 number one single in 15 countries for weeks, in 1991) and "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind".
Mr Big have remained active and popular for over two decades, despite internal conflicts and changing music trends. They broke up in 2002, but after requests from fans reunited in 2009; their first tour was in Japan, in June 2009.[2]

Return in 1999

Gilbert left the band in 1997, and eventually reformed Racer X. Richie Kotzen, another Shrapnel artist and former guitarist for Poison, was brought in as a guitar player. Two studio albums were released by this lineup: Get Over It in 2000, and Actual Size in 2001. Get Over It was released on September 1999, in Japan, and yielded "Superfantastic," a multi-platinum number one hit in Japan. Mr Big performed a twenty-date tour of Japan followed by a New Year's Eve 1999 show with Aerosmith at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo. Get Over It' was released in the US in March 2000, followed by a short club stint at "Roxy", California.
In 2001, Mr Big released Actual Size in Asia. The CD sat on the charts in the number three spot and "Shine", the first single, was number one. The song was also used as the ending theme for the animation series Hellsing.
However, tension had developed between Billy Sheehan and the other members, and the band broke up in 2002.

Caricatur of "Seni rupa"

Seni rupa adalah cabang seni yang membentuk karya seni dengan media yang bisa ditangkap mata dan dirasakan dengan rabaan. Kesan ini diciptakan dengan mengolah konsep garis, bidang, bentuk, volume, warna, tekstur, dan pencahayaan dengan acuan estetika.Seni rupa dibedakan ke dalam tiga kategori, yaitu seni rupa murni atau seni murni, kriya, dan desain. Seni rupa murni mengacu kepada karya-karya yang hanya untuk tujuan pemuasan eksresi pribadi, sementara kriya dan desain lebih menitikberatkan fungsi dan kemudahan produksi.Secara kasar terjemahan seni rupa di dalam Bahasa Inggris adalah fine art. Namun sesuai perkembangan dunia seni modern, istilah fine art menjadi lebih spesifik kepada pengertian seni rupa murni untuk kemudian menggabungkannya dengan desain dan kriya ke dalam bahasan visual arts.

Caricatur of "Seni grafis"

Seni grafis adalah cabang seni rupa yang proses pembuatan karyanya menggunakan teknik cetak, biasanya di atas kertas. Kecuali pada teknik Monotype, prosesnya mampu menciptakan salinan karya yang sama dalam jumlah banyak, ini yang disebut dengan proses cetak. Tiap salinan karya dikenal sebagai 'impression'. Lukisan atau drawing, di sisi lain, menciptakan karya seni orisinil yang unik. Cetakan diciptakan dari permukaan sebuah bahan , secara teknis disebut dengan matrix. Matrix yang umum digunakan adalah: plat logam, biasanya tembaga atau seng untuk engraving atau etsa; batu digunakan untuk litografi; papan kayu untuk woodcut/cukil kayu. Masih banyak lagi bahan lain yang digunakan dalam karya seni ini. Tiap-tiap hasil cetakan biasanya dianggap sebagai karya seni orisinil, bukan sebuah salinan. Karya-karya yang dicetak dari sebuah plat menciptakan sebuah edisi, di masa seni rupa modern masing-masing karya ditandatangani dan diberi nomor untuk menandai bahwa karya tersebut adalah edisi terbatas.

Warna

Pembuat karya grafis memberi warna pada cetakan mereka dengan banyak cara. Seringkali pewarnaannya -- dalam etsa, cetak saring, cukil kayu serta linocut -- diterapkan dengan menggunakan plat, papan atau screen yang terpisah atau dengan menggunakan pendekatan reduksionis. Dalam teknik pewarnaan multi-plat, terdapat sejumlah plat, screen atau papan, yang masing-masing menghasilkan warna yang berbeda. Tiap plat, screen atau papan yang terpisah akan diberi tinta dengan warna berbeda kemudian diterapkan pada tahap tertentu untuk menghasilkan keseluruhan gambar. Rata-rata digunakan 3 sampai 4 plat, tapi adakalanya seorang seniman grafis menggunakan sampai dengan tujuh plat. Tiap penerapan warna akan berinteraksi dengan warna lain yang telah diterapkan pada kertas, jadi sebelumnya perlu dipikirkan pemisahan warna. Biasanya warna yang paling terang diterapkan lebih dulu kemudian ke warna yang lebih gelap.Pendekatan reduksionis untuk menghasilkan warna dimulai dengan papan kayu atau lino yang kosong atau dengan goresan sederhana. Kemudian seniman mencukilnya lebih lanjut, memberi warna lain dan mencetaknya lagi. Bagian lino atau kayu yang dicukil akan mengekspos (tidak menimpa) warna yang telah tercetak sebelumnya.Pada teknik grafis seperti chine-collé atau monotype, pegrafis kadang-kadang hanya mengecat warna seperti pelukis kemudian dicetak.Konsep warna subtraktif yang juga digunakan dalam cetak offset atau cetak digital, di dalam software vektorial misalnya Macromedia Freehand, CorelDraw atau Adobe Ilustrator atau bitmap ditampilkan dalam CMYK atau ruang warna lain.
