linoleum block print

-My goals and intentions for this artwork were to be creative, practice using different colors to produce different outcomes, and carve out the lights so the darks would be left.

- I accomplished this by using bright colors and planning out what I was going to carve prior to carving. 

- I was most surprised by how many different my prints could be depending on the colors used. 

- the most difficult challenge I had to face was carving out the lights to create the dark parts of my print. 

 - I experienced the shift from my left brain to the right brain when choosing the colors for my print and carving out my design. 

- My print works well where the texture is shown on the jacket and collar. 

- I have learned to emphasize the darks in contrast to the lights and it will definitely help me with future drawings or paintings

- I have learned from Helen to show the texture because she did a great job stressing that with the hair from her dog.

- if I had a do-over, I would do different colors for each piece rather than doing similar colors for each one to make it more interesting. 

- I feel like the best thing about my work is the color contrast and the texture shown.
