Print Making

Adding texture to my print was done by using grooves to create the the white part of the penguin. Rather than removing the whole top layer, I used individual lines for the purpose of adding texture. There is a clear positive vs. negative theme in the art in the form of the black and white contrast in the print. The project didn't turn out as well as hoped, mostly because of either a lack of paint on the press, or too much paint on the press. Depth was difficult to create in this print because we only made one layer of color in the linoleum was created a struggle to show true depth. I have no experience working with prints, therefore knowing how deep and far apart to make each cut was a difficult process for me.

Chalk Art

Working on a team in art makes the project more enjoyable because the entire project doesn't lay in your hands. Collaboration is important when working on a team because if each member contributes their strengths to the better of the team, the project will end up looking much better in the end. This project was successful, although our team ran out of green which made finishing the tube a difficult process. Making interactive art is cool because it allows many people to incorporate themselves with your projects.

Print Sketch

Texture is important to include while doing sketches such as these because it adds dimension to the picture and creates a better overall appearance of your drawing. Having multiple images of both the animals and the landscapes helps give the drawer more inspiration or ideas for how they want their final product to turn out. Looking at all of my sketches makes it easy to tell which sketch will turn out the best on print because the most simplistic sketch will turn out looking the best in most cases.
