Linocut Printmaking project

When I think of lines I think about different shapes instead of actual lines. My piece shows the theme of lines by being full of different shapes that are made of lines such as dots, lines, circles, triangles, etc.
If I were to redo my piece I think I would have tried to be more mindful about where the dark and light parts are. I think by doing that in my original sketch I would have liked my product in the end more. I also wish I had experimented with more color varieties on my print and seen if there was anything that looked better.

Perspective

I used a 2 point perspective with colored pencil as my medium. I took it in Europe while we were going on a carriage ride through the woods of Ireland. I found it difficult to make everything look realistic with lines. Getting the correct angle is hard and coloring over the lines that I had to erase was also hard.

I used

  • paper tissue
  • ink blotting
  • melted plastic
  • sharpie
  • charcole
  • hot glue
My word was anger so I tried to use dark colors like red, black, orange, and brown. I tried to use sharp lines and random crazy lines to make a mood of frustration and confusion.
