Printmaking

 

1.     Describe the overall composition of your artwork (balance, unity, rhythm and movement).It was pretty balanced and contrasted nicely. The feathers on the bird went upward and curved a little.

  

2.     How did you add texture and contrast to your print? Is this important? Why? I added texture and contrast b cutting out certain parts. It is important because it makes it flow better and make it more distinctive.

3.     Explain how you used positive and negative space to show your image. I used postive and negative space by leaving some parts open and it could contrast better.

4.     Describe the craftsmanship of your print. (How good the project is technically crafted) I think it is crafted well. I worked hard on the design and cut it well.

5.     Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and back- ground? Explain. Yes, because the foreground was the bird, the middle ground was the tree/leaves, and the background was the rest of the open space.

6.     Explain your experience with Printmaking. What were the obstacles and advantages? It was fun experimenting with printmaking. The obstacles were making it too low cut and making sure it didn't smudge. Some advantages were that I made good texture and the body looked good.
