My element is Calcium. Its atomic number is 20. Calcium is found in many dairy products. Calcium is what makes and keeps our bones strong and healthy. It was discovered by Humphry Davey. My imagery is comprised of a skeleton, some milk, and my atomic number + element. I drew a skeleton because calcium is used to improve bone health, and I also drew some milk because milk intake is a main source for getting calcium. To make this print, I first had to sketch it out on paper. Then, I drew my final design on transfer paper to later trace onto foam paper. SInce the lines were all dented into the foam, when I rolled ink onto it and pressed it down onto paper, the surfaced parts of the photo were left behind. If I did this another time, I would put less detail into it because positive and negative space and detail don't really mess well. I really enjoyed pressing the foam onto the paper to get the final product because it turned out really well, which I was not expecting.
