Spooky Forest

I created the linoleum cut because I simply wanted to try something different. I felt like it was something I didn’t think I could do so I wanted to try it. I wanted to create an image that people could make up their own story from. It is an image people can interpret in their own way. I think people would mostly see it as something spooky. Something you would see in a cartoon movie where kids are  trick or treating on a Halloween night and go into a forest for more of an adventure. Doing this project I think I created more of an imaginative mind for myself. I feel like my work doesn’t relate to my previous work because I feel like my previous work wasn’t much creative. I think my art relates more to David Hockney art because he did a lot of landscape art with painting of trees, woods, and towns with farms land. I feel like that is the type of art I was working towards.

Linoleum cut process was easy. First I had to sketch out an idea of what I wanted to crave and I had to make sure the image would be able to fit on the linoleum so that was challenging. After sketching the picture I had to print it on the linoleum using carbon paper. When it printed on the linoleum I then had to go over the image a black sharpie marker. Then I had to heat up the linoleum with a iron so that it would be easy to crave. The I began to carve the part of my image that wasn’t gone over with the sharpie. After I was finish craving I then had to print my image on a piece of paper using ink and a roller to roll the ink over my image so that it will print of the paper.
