Justin's Matt Print
My element is tin. Tin is a metal, that is often used to coat other metals. This helps to prevent corrosion. The atomic number of tin is 50. Tin has been used since 3000 BCE. It was used to make art, and was one of the most commonly used metals. I chosed to use an altoids container because an altoids container is made of tin. I thought this was an interesting way to portray tin, because not many people would have thought of that. To make the print I had to draw the altoids container backwards so the print would come out correctly. If I were to do this print over again I would spend a lot more time working on the details of the print. I could have made the design a lot more realistic which i think is necessary. I enjoyed thinking creatively to figure out a way to portray my element. It was interesting, I went from drawing the tin man from the Wizard of Oz to a couple other ideas before this idea had came to me.
