For my art, my table decided on the theme of winter. At first I thought it was a dumb idea, but then i came up with different ideas such as Christmas trees, presents, a snowman, and more. I wanted to be different and creative so i came up with the idea of making ice skates. I thought it was going to be hard though, and it was! I used my own unique ideas by choosing the colors wisely, and i thought that doing ice skates would make me seem different than other people that did snowman's. While making the ice skates i used different sources such as the internet by going on Google and looking at different ice skates that i could do. I also asked my friend Rebecca to send me a picture of her skates( shes an ice skater). and that helped me a lot too.
The art making skill that i learned was of course print making. During the process of it all i learned that it takes patients to actually put the ink on the paper. It took me a while to understand how to line everything up so that it would be perfectly on the ink i put on before it, but i soon realized that it wont be perfect and that even if it isn't perfect the imperfections could still make it look good. While making my print i tried to use all the positive and negative space that i could.
Like i said before, my biggest problem was not being able to line everything up correctly so what i did was i lined it up the best i could and then at the end i put a little bit of paint over the black to make it look better. During this i learned that it isn't always going to be perfect you could still make it look good by doing your best. Every time that i messed up i just tried to fix it. I feel like my work turned out just fine as i got to finishing it.
