Print Making

This quarter in art we made colored prints of things representing elements of the periodic table. My element was element 54: Xenon. Xenon was used in the first excimer laser, so I decided to print a laser.
First, we made three sketches of possible ideas for our print. Then, we picked one and transferred the drawing to a linoleum block. After that, we carved in the negative space (or positive space), put paint on the block and then pressed the block against paper, leaving a print.
