Element Print
My element is manganese, the element number is 25. Manganese is used in cans and glass to decolorize the iron impurities. I printed a steel railroad for my element because manganese helps harden and strengthen the steel allowing trains to safely ride on the rails.
To make my print, I first drew out my idea on a piece of 4 by 6 paper. After I finished drawing the railroad, I went on to indent the drawing into a piece of styrofoam. Next, I painted the styrofoam with printing paint and pressed the styrofoam onto piece of paper, allowing it to print my railroad drawing. I did this repeatedly until I came up with three prints that I was proud of. If I were to ever redo this project, I would try to be more creative with my print and use different colors. My favorite part was learning about the element since I've never heard of the element, manganese before.
