When i first started the print-making process I really wasn't excited about carving the linoleum out, but once it started coming together i really enjoyed how it looked. This project was definitely the one where i came across the most challenges. It's easy to get confused while carving because you have to carve out what you want to keep a certain color. Luckily, none of the mistakes I made were big enough to notice in the final piece. I also found it difficult to perfectly line up the linoleum with the place on the paper where I wanted it to be. The assignment for this piece was to do something that had to do with history/the prehistoric era, so, of course, the first thing that came to mind was a dinosaur (due to the lack of my creativity). In this piece the thing that really stands out is the bright blue on the bright red. Even a lot of my classmates
For the mixed media project I didn't come across too much challenges, but once in a while I thought it was hard to make the different scraps flow together. When I ran into an issue I asked Mrs. Rossi for pointers so that I could make it better. In this piece it's obviously not a depiction of a person or landscape, but all of the different things put into one piece makes it real art, just as much as a picture/landscape. I think since I used a view finder to find the perfect place on the piece, it would have been hard to put more colors in while getting in the picture. I love these types of things because there are so many things that can catch your eye. I liked putting 3-D things on it because it makes it unique. I think when people look at my piece they will notice how many layers there are and not just what's on top. If you look closely you can see that there is more than just the tissue paper on the top. Some elements I used in this piece to invoke a certain mood were things like using the word "power" in the middle of it and sparkly things to catch attention and create a happy, colorful mood. I hope that people who have looked at my mixed media have liked.
For this mini-project we were given a portion of a famous painting and we had to recreate it on a larger piece of paper. I really enjoyed this project because we were able to copy it down and then later after we had all finished, we matched ours with three others in the class who were doing the same picture just a different portion of it.
