Prints! Prints! Prints!
In this project we made prints out of soft blocks, covered them in ink and stamped it on a piece of paper and we could paint the paper before hand or use different color ink on the block. Before we made the prints we looked at different kinds of prints and art pieces to style ours on. Once we fond a style we like we made a piece that was similar to that, we then made a few drafts until we liked how it looked. After that we got it scanned on the computer and printed it so that the lines would be darker and be seen on the block. Then we got our soft blocks and put mod podge on it and placed the picture on it. When we did that we had to dry it, once it was dry we got a wet sponge and rub the side of the block with the picture so that the paper will come off and the image would remain. Then we got carving tools and started carving the block where the lines were so that it would have the picture carved into it and be able to print. i made a landscape piece that has a lined sky and ground, there are mountens in the background and hilled fields in the front there is also a river. i chose to do this because i like nature and i like making the picture have a lot of lines and such.
