Bright flower , In A Dark World

In my linoleum prints, I explore line and light and shadow. Everyday objects inspire me whether it is a teapot, cup and saucer, or the flowers in a garden or just random heart pictures. I chose to create the linoleum cut project because it seemed easy , and very detailed by using simple steps and stencils. I was hoping to achieve a different way to create and print in a different type of way instead of the old fashioned way. Nobody likes being boring ,they like exploring new things. I think my work communicates with the viewer because the viewer can see the painting how I viewed it. I viewed it as if it was a bright strong flower in a dark world, where no one was like her, and she wasn’t afraid to stand out. Working on this project I achieved how to think smaller , and basic first and then work my way up to the top to achieve a great art project. My current work relates to my previous work because I always end choosing basic art pieces that are difficult , or difficult art pieces that I cannot do and ill fall behind, but for this one I thought simple , and my backstory bigger. My work fits in with contemporary art because contemporary art is art that has been created and continues to be created during our lifetimes. With linoleum cut , anybody could have the same one as me , as long as they do their outlining the same, or they carve the middle then it would be different because the background would be white instead of black. The process of creating this project was First I chose a difficult flower to draw but I couldn’t draw it smaller onto the linoleum board , so I had to choose a much smaller one that’s simple. So I figured since the flower is basic i’ll make the meaning unique. And that’s what I did. After I drew my flower on the board , I outlined what I wanted to be black and what I wanted to be white. So the inside of my flower is white while the outside is black , So for mine I Had to carve along the black lines or around
