Printmaking Blog Post & final steps for the element print
- The name of my element is Carbon, its atomic number is 6.
- Carbon was first found by Lavoisier in 1789. Carbon is produced everywhere around us, when combined with the element oxygen it produces carbon dioxide which we exhale out of us.
- The image is a cycle of respiration in the world, all carbon dioxide exhaled or produced will eventually be turned into oxygen. It is a continuous cycle.
- To make this final print, I first had to sketch the idea and research the element. Then I had to trace it into print paper which I then had to print onto foam to duplicate the images multiple times.
- If I was given a second chance to redo this project, I would go for more detail in the drawing, carve deeper into the foam.
- I enjoyed duplicating the final image onto paper, the peeling of the foam onto paper was very satisfying, to have an image you made be replicated was very nice.
