Element Print Project 2011

What is your element?
My element is Zinc.

What are some things your element are used for?
It is used to prevent corrosion of metals like iron and steel and in the body it helps in the healing process of wounds.

How did you come up with the idea for your print?
This symbolizes Zincs natural resistance to corrosion. It is a person that kind of resembles a teenage Captain America.

What steps did you take from your idea for the print to the final print?
First I traced it onto some tracing paper
Then I put the traced image on the linoleum (traced side down) 
I went over the lines to get the trace on the linoleum
Cut out the linoleum along the lines
Added paint to the linoleum
Put a paper on the the painted linoleum 
pressed down to make sure the paint got on the paper
Took off the excess paper 
Cut out an 8*8 square of construction paper
Glued print in the middle of the construction paper


What are your thoughts on the project?
 It was fun I think I did pretty good.

What would you do differently if you did this project again?
Choose brighter colors
