Unsalted Prints 2/28/17
Overall I feel like I did a good job on carving, but I could of done better. In the picture I had hair but in the prints I don't really have it??, you can see the outline of it but you don't know if I have hair because it could of just been my head and I could be bald. I believe I could of done a better job on carving my hair, but I didn't know exactly how to, and I just lightly craved it. This was however a good try, its the first time I've done this so my expectations of how it would turn out were pretty low. My main goal was that you were able to atleast tell that the print was me.
Printmaking Portrait 3/1/2017
The map I used for this portrait, doesn't really represent me. I just used whatever I could find, however the colors used in the map and where they were placed, I feel like I can connect with them. The magenta like color promotes compassion, kindness, and encourages a sense of self respect. The color is mostly around the left side of the map but not in the right side, and for me I feel like I am alike to this map, I am kind but I'm also not kind, I can show compassion but not always, I love myself but sometimes I can hate myself with a passion. To me this means that I am 50% of the traits described how their there but they're also not there. The magenta color stood out to me more than all the other colors, which is why I believe I chose this map.
