Book Pages

For this project I first picked out 4 pages out of different books. I then found different words that clicked together on each page and circled them. After that, I painted the pages according to the words circled on them. For one page I drew a street because the theme of the sentance of words was about a street that people walked on. The second page had a bunch of hearts on it because the sentance was about a broken heart. The third page had different shades of blue waves on it because the sentance was about the ocean becoming darker. The last page was colored in suns because the sentance described the sun shining. The book page I liked the most was the street because the words really connected with the painting. The thing I dont like about the book pages is that I rushed on the painting of them, so I wish I could go back and take more time on them.

Block Prints

This print was inspired by my passion for music and playing guitar. Since music plays a special part in my life, I've decided to draw out a guitar and the word 'Music'. I first drew both the guitar and the word on a peice of paper and then on the back of the paper, i traced the whole thing so I could have the letters backwords. Then I shaded the first drawing and then retraced my backwords drawing onto the block. Then I took a blade and cut out the rest of the block. After, I did several colored prints by rolling the paint onto the block and putting it through the block printer. I liked this project because it was a free choice and you had enough time to complete it. I liked my design because the guitar came out really well. The thing I dont like about this peice, is that the letters are in bubble letters and I dont like it. I should've just wrote them in script. Overall this was a great project.
