Alexis Sweeney Week 9 - Day 1 & 2 print/matt

My element is Silver (Ag) and has the atomic number of 47. It is one of the first elements discovered by humans and can be used for killing bacteria, soaps, and jewelry. I got the idea for the silver spoons design after doing a google search of "things made from Silver." One of the first things that popped up were were beautiful spoons that I felt the urge to copy down. Of course I didn't get most detail but the general outline is there. To make the print, I first did research about negative space to prep for the art work. Next, I used a thin piece of paper to draw my design, then after, I traced it onto a piece of foam. After that, I rolled on silver colored paint to then transfer it onto a piece of paper. When that was done I cut out a 5x7" piece of construction paper and glued it onto the surface. If done this a second time, I would have waited for the paint to dry a bit longer because it was still tacky when I glued, and I most enjoyed rolling on the silver paint.
