I worked/created the linoleum project because it looked the most interesting to me. Watching one of my peers work on it from first quarter, it made me want to do. It seemed like a challenge and required a lot of different tools. Working on this project, I was hoping to achieve the idea I had in my head for what I wanted this to look like. I wanted to achieve a clean cut, black rose. I want my work to communicate to the viewer as beauty when it is first seen. Previous work relates to my linoleum by the time I took to create this project and the time I put into it. My process was simple and short for this project. I started off with my sketch of my linoleum which was a small rose. After the sketch, I transferred it onto the rubber and iron & carved it until I thought it was best. Painting applied to the rubber and a blank white piece of paper was made. My project wasn´t the best and not the neatest but I want people who view it, to get the message that its ok if its not perfect because its art and art is whatever you think is beautiful to you. Carving my linoleum was an important technique because it took patient and time to get it out the way you want to. Carving was one of the newest techniques I learned doing this project and the one I enjoyed the most.


Overall, my linoleum project is important to me and I worked hard on it. The techniques I used were different which taught me something new and I plan to use them in my next art projects in the future.
