Block Print & Monoprint

I really enjoyed making my block print although it took almost a week to finish because I had to carve out most of the block and only leave thin lines. I was happy I picked out the picture I chose because I felt i t was suitable for the style of art I was performing because block prints are typically get better results with simpler designs and alot of contrast between the solid lines and the negative space. Also, my monoprint matched my block print because of the style of art I used with the two girls. The good qualities of my art pieces are the dominance and contrast of the girls on the plain paper.

Book Pages: Paper Vase

I enjoyed making my Paper Vase. I thought it was a good idea to shade the vase only using varying magazine clippings of text. However, I could have spent more time and effort with planning and projecting my thoughts through the artwork because I don't think it came out very well. The reason why it didn't turn out good is because it lacked many of the key elements such as unity and movent. Although, it had dominance because the vase was the main focus point.
