Quarter 2 Project

For my project I did a Linoleum cut this was my first time doing this project and I will admit it was very complicated to do but it was a fun project to do. I decided to create this project because it seem like it would be interesting and i honestly wanted to see if i could pull it off.  I also wanted to see if i would be able to curve it correctly. My overall vision of the work was to make my print look like it was a turtle in swimming in the water. That’s what i would have liked to communicate to the viewers also.

I don't think i did a good job trying to communicate that to the viewers because along the way i made a couple of permanent mistakes. In my opinion the only thing that the viewers might see is the water thats behind the turtle and a half turtle. I did a bad job the head of the turtle and the shell that was the most complicated part of the drawing the print. I feel like I did a good job doing the drawing the print in pencil. Although i made a lot of mistakes on the project I think the thing i achieved the best was actually still finishing the project despite all the mistakes and it still looked a little close to the picture i was trying to create. That's how my previous work is also, even if i make a couple mistakes designing the project I still finish my project and it always comes out looking close to the design i based my project off of.

The process I had to go through to create this project is first I had to draw my design on a my print on a white piece of paper first to show how i would like my print to look. Second I had to copy my print onto the linoleum cut with a black sharpie. Next I had to use cutting tools to carve  out the design. Then I had to use the printing ink and the rolling tools to roll the ink on the linoleum cut. Lastly i put the linoleum cut on a white piece of paper so that it could print and I was finish.
