Element Printmaking

For my image, I got my inspiration while reading an article on the history of Nickel. In this article I read that the name, Nickel, is the shortened version of the word Kupfernickel which loosely translates to "devils copper". This is why that the word copper is in the middle of my print. If you look on the "o" in Copper I drew devil horns on top of it, also on the end of the "r" I drew a devils tail. This is all to represent "devil's copper". 

I think that if I did this projectly differently I would not have written a word for my print. I would have put something symbolic to represent nickel. I would do this because I think it would make my project more interesting and engaging. Many of my classmates thought that my element was copper, I think that if I had done a symbol or something that represents Nickel my print would be much more thoughtful. My favorite part of the project was when we had to sketch out our designs on paper. This was my favorite part because it taught me a lot, I had to redo my sketch of my element many times, I also changed ideas many times. I think that this was a good experience because I also got frustrated a lot but I pushed through and came up with a pretty good element print. I also liked this part because of the freedom we had, we could draw anything that we wanted to represent our elements and we were really able to use our imaginations.
