Zinc-Negative Space

My element is Zinc and its atomic number is 30. Zinc was found by Andreas Marggraf in 1668. Zinc is the first element on the group 12 on the periodic table. Zinc is used to make dry cell batteries, roof cladding, and die castings. For the image I chose to draw the silhouette of Andreas Marggraf, since he found this element. I first drew three drafts of what I wanted in the dimensions of  4x6''. Then I traced the drawing into the tracing paper, then from the back I traced the drawing on the styrofoam plate. If I could do this differently I would use different colors. My favorite part was the printing part because it was really fun to get the right amount of paint on the paper and then looking at the results was  just amazing.
